• Writing, Writing, Writing!!! 

    We will be writing every single day in Writing class! Other classes will require students to write, but in writing class we will LEARN how to write. We will begin every day with a Quick Write in our Writer's Notebook. There will be a daily lesson to teach a focused skill, and the students will have time to focus on writing. We will focus on 4 specific styles of writing this year. Homework will be assigned throughout the year, and it is expected to be completed and returned the next day. Homework is an essential part of school that each student will complete. My goal is to help your child create good habits that will help them to be successful in life! 

     

    Units of Study will be: 

    • Grammar Bootcamp
    • Getting Started Narrative or Fantasy
    • Nonfiction/Informative
    • Personal Narrative
    • Argumentative
    • Poetry

     

    Homework Policy: 

    Students will be writing every day in class! They will only get better by repetitious practice every single day. Homework is given when students are not able to complete their work in class. They will ALWAYS have a chance to get it started in class, and if time is used wisely in class, there should be minimal homework to be completed at home. 

     

    Classwork/Homework: 

    All classwork is turned in on a due date determined by the teacher. It will be accepted up to 5 days after the due date.  

     

    Make-Up Policy: 

    There will be no retakes on tests and quizzes.

     

    Google Classroom

    Google Classroom will be used multiple times per week in Writing class. If you are not familiar with this platform, please let me know. I am always willing to be of assistance!
