My surgery has been scheduled for this week. I’m hoping to be back on April 13. My surgeon has written a letter giving me permission to be at conferences if I sit….so, soon you will be hearing from the office (probably through a note) about our conference schedule.
Our goal this year at Forest Ridge is to improve students’ writing. During the week, I’d like to encourage you and your child to write together. Here are the topics for the next few weeks.
Week 2 in March: Write a convincing letter to your parents explaining why it’s a good idea for you to get an allowance, or an increase in allowance, stay up later, get a pet, or anything else you’ve been dreaming about.
Week 3 in March: The topic is: “What I’d Like to Do for Spring Vacation”. It can be a nonfiction or fiction piece.
Week 1 in April: Topic: “What I Did Do Over Spring Vacation”. Make a 4-square with an introduction, and 1-3 things you did over vacation. Be sure you give at least 3 details about each activity you did.
Week 2 in April: Topic: “The Best and the Worst Thing that Happened While Mrs. Ryan Was Away”. Write an introduction, a topic sentence for “the best” and at least 3 detail sentences with a transitional sentence to the next paragraph. Then write another topic sentence for “the worst” with 3 detail sentences to support your thoughts. Last, write a conclusion. I can’t wait to read this one!
Writing together encourages your child to see you having fun with writing, and allows you an opportunity to spend time with your child while he/she learns. Please have your child bring it in by Friday.
Reading logs are due on Thursday.
