NaNaWriMo:
KEEP ROCKING THAT WORD COUNT!!! WE ARE HALFWAY THERE!!
Students should keep working on their stories. I am AMAZED and proud of the
incredible commitment to this project by our Team 5 students, and the
creativity you have all shown.
NaNoWriMo is coming!!! November will be the most creative month ever! Stay
tuned for more details.
Oct. 26-30th:
We will be working on planning for our NaNoWriMo creative writing in
November. Packets were issued and plot bunnies were unleashed to inspire
creativity.
Students will be asked for an email address in order to sign up for
NaNoWriMo's young writers program. Please call or email me with any questions
or concerns. This is a wonderful program for young writers and the website is
safe and used in many schools.
Encourage creativity in your children--and get ready for some incredible
results!
Newspaper club meets Thursdays in the computer room. All are welcome.
Welcome! Check here for info on Weekly Work packets and due dates. (NO
HOMEWORK will be given in my class. Instead, students will receive packets
of assigned work over a given period of time (usually given Monday and due
Fridays) that will be graded. Some work may be done in class, but some work
outside of class, on your own time, will likely be required.
**PLEASE NOTE THAT LATE PACKETS WILL RECEIVE A GRADE NO HIGHER
THAN A 65. MY GOAL IS TO TEACH RESPONSIBILITY AND MEETING DUE DATES IS A
LARGE PART OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS. STUDENTS THAT STRUGGLE OFTEN DO SO BECAUSE
OF LATE OR MISSING WORK. I'D LIKE TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS TURN WORK IN ON
TIME, UNLESS IN CASE OF ABSENCE OR OTHER EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCE. I SHOOT
FOR 100% COMPLIANCE WITH DUE DATES...AND THE STUDENTS OFTEN MEET THAT
EXPECTATION.
REMEMBER PARENTS: YOU ARE A PART OF THIS PROCESS. EACH PACKET SHOULD BE
SIGNED BY A
PARENT OR GUARDIAN. THAT WAY YOU KNOW IF IT IS COMPLETE, AND YOU SEE THE
QUALITY OF WORK YOUR CHILD IS DOING.
*******YOU ARE OFF TO A GREAT START. Keep it up!
