Hello Lit Families,
There was some confusion about whether or not there was homework assigned for Tuesday night. Some of you may know that I was out sick on Tuesday and had a substitute. Sadly, he told the students that there was no homework. However, there was an assignment. It was journal prompt four. Several students (five) came to class with it completed. They looked at the May assignment calendar just to be sure. Yay! I talked with the class today about that situation and asked them to always use the calendar for their assignment due dates.Sorry for the confusion!
Homework over the weekend is to finish prompt four and start five. It would be super helpful if you (parents) could look over your child's writing and help them with editing (spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization). I try my best to get to everyone, but it's hard in a class period to do so. This editing jump start would be great!
The journals are turning out great! Each student is writing so vividly and I love the reference to historical facts! Keep up the good work!
