Our District Timed Writing scores improved dramatically this time! Students are seriously forming paragraphs, creating thesis statements and adding FRIESS support to their work. Most students moved up on the rubric scale, and those who did not have still made huge progress.
Our next DTW will involve persuasive writing, something new for all 6th graders. There is a very specific format for this and I will post the plan on the blog when we return from break.
We are reading Local News and your child has been assigned a book. There will be reading required each and every class; occasionally two short stories will be assigned. Look for Local News to be coming home each day, and make sure it returns on B day. (I seriously have NO extra copies in the classroom!)
Continue reading your independent reading book and keep up your log!
