We will have a quiz over elements of fiction and plot on Thursday, September 3. I went over the notes for fiction today and will cover the plot notes tomorrow. I just wanted to let you know what’s coming. I look forward to reading the IVAN CAPP Booklets that are due tomorrow, September 1. Have a marvelous Monday!

We spent a great deal of time editing then writing the final copies of our introduction letters in class today. If it wasn’t finished in class, then the final copy is homework. I also assigned the IVAN CAPP collection page. Students are to complete as many examples as possible. They will probably only have seven examples of conjunctions, and that is just fine. Check your Remind text from me to have an electronic copy.

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.

My PAP ILA classes should have their study questions completed for chapters 25-32 of Walk Two Moons and vocabulary for chapters 25-44. You should have at least four journal entries for this week for each of the reading sections. Study guide questions and vocabulary are on the Student Learning Hub under the Assignment tab.
My ILA class should have their chapter 10-13 questions for Where the Red Fern Grows completed on Monday, October 20. You will check them in class; if you misplaced your copy of the questions, you will find electronic versions on the Student Learning Hub under the Class Novels tab along with the audio for chapters 9-13.

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.
