Today I sent an email welcoming parents to my class for the 2015-2016 school year. Students were to work on the rough draft of their introduction letters. Those rough drafts are due tomorrow. Please don’t worry about how long each paragraph is; make sure you have the right content. See the attachment below for the directions. Please email me if there are errors on the email address preferred for contact from me at school. If your student is confused, please send him or her to me in the morning with a pass in the passport section of their student planner.
Have a great Wednesday evening.

P. S. Sonic Drive-In has corn dogs for 50 cents on Thursday if you’re interested.
Today, my PAP and on-level students completed their first CBAP writing assessment. They composed a personal narrative in a timed writing setting. Most finished and began reading their self-selected library books. After reading their library books, I am asking them to complete a reader’s response assignment. A copy of the handout was given to each student before departure today. I look forward to putting parent faces with student names tomorrow at our annual “Meet the Teacher” night.

Here are the instructions for the introduction letter that is due on Wednesday, August 27, at the beginning of class. We brainstormed and wrote about why reading and writing are so integral to life and turned in our t-shirts. They will be fun to display in my room or hallway. I haven’t decided. Here are the directions for the introduction letter we started in class but didn’t finish. It is homework. If your student has a question, then he or she can come in tomorrow morning during tutorials with a signed pass from you in the hallway passport section of the agenda.

Introduction letter directions
The only change is that you will write ONE copy of your letter and use the front side of your paper. I look forward to reading your words of art. Take care, and have a good evening.

P. S. Here is the template for the T-shirt if your student didn’t turn one in. I’d like to display them. Please have your student decorate it and cut it out before school tomorrow if this applies to you. Thank you.
This major project grade is due tomorrow, Friday, May 9, when you walk into my classroom. We’ll take a moment to assemble the packets and staple, but you should have all of the pieces with you when you arrive to my classroom. Check your school email account, and ask your parents (nicely) to print off anything you need from organizer to rubric. Do you not have ink in the printer at home? Go to the Integration Lab tomorrow morning and print it off there. Remember to keep on working diligently because although the end of the school year is getting closer, it’s still not here yet. Stay strong in your efforts. Turn in your work on time.
If you don’t remember how to set up a paper for submission in GoogleDocs, please view the following link. You must share with me using my school email address. Find it on the contact tab.

We will be revising and editing our short stories this week. Be ready to make changes for the better and to utilize proper grammar and spelling. This all counts toward the final product. Most of my students turned in their rough drafts; those who didn’t will need to bring it to class tomorrow, Tuesday, January 21, for a late grade. Check the HAC (Home Access Center) because I have made a note and typed in “L” for a late grade if it wasn’t turned in on Friday. Do good for someone else today!

We are working on the revision and editing process for our curriculum-based-assessment prompt or CBAP as you may read in my lesson plans. Students began the process of self-revision today and will eventually turn in a packet that includes their pre-writing/brainstorming, first draft, revised draft, grading rubric, and final draft. We take writing one step at a time. This assignment will be a major grade, so we should take the writing seriously. I wore scrubs in class today as a visual reminder about the editing process involved in writing.

Good afternoon, one and all! Our students will begin work on a personal narrative writing piece in their ILA or PAP ILA classes this week. We’ll follow the steps of pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing. During this writing time, we will continue to read our novels. Some times I will ask them to read at home; other times, I will ask them to read during class. Please check your student’s agenda and the lesson plans on the Home Access Center (HAC) to keep up with the reading assignments. Thanks in advance for your support. Tomorrow, they will definitely need notebook paper as we get started. Ask them to tell you what I wear for writing time. Take care, and God bless.

Please read the student sample I have attached below before Thursday, September 26, 2013. Thank you.
