ILA Homework

 
Week of September 8, 2008


Writer's Workshop:

We will be writing this week during class in our Writer's Notebooks. 
Writer's Notebook will go home on Monday and Wednesday for HW writing (10 
minutes each night).

WRITER'S NOTEBOOK:

On Friday, we started decorating covers for our notebooks during class.  
Please finish decorating notebooks and bring them to school for Monday.  I 
will be covering them with clear contact paper to protect photographs and 
artwork.

Writer's Notebooks will be collected the week of September 15th.  I will 
check them and provide comments only without a grade, so that students know 
what is expected of them.  Writer's Notebook will be collected and graded 
the week of September 29th.

Reader's Workshop:

Students have been reading in school and should read for 15 minutes this 
weekend.  Reading logs will go home on Monday night, and students are 
expected to read for 15 minutes each night and record their thinking.  
Reading logs must come to school each day.  They will be checked during 
class.  Reading logs will be collected on Fridays, and must have a parent 
signature.  New logs will also be distributed then for the next week.

Enjoy the week.
