Today in Language Arts students "stepped into" a personal memory. They started listing their "writing territories" earlier in the week and began writing about a specific one today. It was wonderfully silent in class as each student was transported back in time, adding their senses and details to a previous experience. Ask your student about this activity. Today each student received a progress report for Language Arts. Please sign and return it.
Each student needs to start bring a flash drive to class. We will be typing stories and activities as often as possible. Students are expected to save onto the hard drive at school IN ADDITION to their flash drives.
Important Due Dates:
Friday, Nov. 7 - Permission slip is due to see the film of Freak the Mighty - Ms. Pearson's Lit Skills class only.

Wednesday, Nov. 12 - LA classes will visit the Book Fair. Please remind your student to bring money PLUS 8.75% tax, if they wish to purchase that day. Students could bring an extra dime for each dollar they wish to spend.
