Dear Parents, guardians and students:
I will be out of the building until December 16th. Ms. Maureen will be my replacement during this time, if you have any questions. She will not be putting due dates on a blog, so students will need to record their homework independently this week. Here are some of the things she will be focusing on this week.
Students are reminded to read each day and update their reading logs. How wonderful how many books we have read together since September! I am proud of you.
Grade 8FLA Your persuasive essay is due on December 16th.
Grade 8E LA and 8FLA you will be completing an instructional/procedural report with Ms. Maureen in class. You should not have homework, if you work diligently during class time. She will be grading you based on our writing and speaking outcomes. Ms. Maureen will also share 2 exemplars with you, in order to help you see what expository writing looks like. There will also be some vocabulary building exercises to complete.
7FLA: You will be working on conventions, vocabulary building and word choice this week. You will also begin your very own anecdotes. Ms. Maureen has exemplars to guide you. Please keep all handouts in your writing sections of your binders.
7E LA: Same plan as 7FLA, but you will also have time to complete your User Friendly sequels or writing entry of your choice. ( *please keep all writing traits in mind: voice, sentence fluency, conventions, organization, word choice and ideas)
I hope you will have a wonderful week, see you again soon.
Mrs. Thain :)
