Next week, March 24-28, we are doing end of year testing in writing. Your students have been working so hard, and I am so proud of them. Please make sure to have them eat a good breakfast, if they bring cold lunch, have a good cold lunch, and that they get a good night sleep. I told them they had to go to bed early! There will be no spelling, or other homework, except reading. Their homework is to play after school. After testing is done for the day, we will be doing art. Your child can bring markers if they would like. I do have plenty if they don't want to though. Thank you for all your help and support. I know they will do great!

For homework for the
next few weeks I thought I would do something different. We will go back to UTIPS after the writing
assessment on March 24 and 25, but in order to prepare for the assessment, I
thought we should do some writing. We
will be doing it in class as well, but some support from home would be
nice. For this first week, I would like
your students to think of something they know a lot about. It could be a sport, a game, an animal, or
something in science. Anything your
child is interested in and can write about would be great. Then have them write about it. Tell them they are “informing” the reader
about the topic. Have them do an
introduction and a conclusion. There is
no requirement of length, but I would love for them to type them if a computer
is available to them. When they bring
them back to class I will find a time for them to read them aloud to each
other. I won’t have these due until
Monday, March 10, but you can bring them in earlier if it is done. Thank you for your help and support with this.
