Thank you for making the time for the Portfolio Conferences last week. Please let individual teachers or administrators know if you had any suggestions, compliments or concerns. If you still have the Who Am I Essay and the Vocabulary Rewrite activity, please return them to me to store in the classroom portfolio.
This week in Language Arts students are using prefixes to create a science fiction or fantasy story. They received a handout that lists elements of these genres, hopefully giving them ideas to create something new, in addition to a sample. This week we will also explore a short (SHORT) story and its elements. The vocabulary quiz will be on Thursday, when the writing activity is due. There will be a quiz on Short Story elements on Friday.
Please help and encourage your student by having him/her read written activities out loud to you. You can offer insight and learn a lot about your student. I hope that you have put the Family Literacy Night on your calendar - December 1.
Thanks for your support.
