Enjoy the day off on Monday.  We will be able to watch the Presidential Inauguration on Tuesday so some classes may not be able to complete their practice writing until Wednesday.  I am seeing some excellent essays, and  I hope you encourage your students to bring them home so you can read them as well.  We are working to correct some common errors in spelling and punctuation as well as improve our writing by adding adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases.  Don’t forget to catch this week’s agenda above.

Happy New Year and welcome to a month of writing emphasis!

The TCAP Writing Assessment is scheduled for February 3, 2009; and we will spend the month of January learning how they are scored and how to perform well on this important evaluation.  The students at Schilling Farms have a history of high scores so I know my fantastic students will give their best effort and bring home excellent marks.  Parents can visit the state website to see samples and obtain information about how to help your student succeed.

Check out the link to the weekly agenda above.

Thanks for making my Christmas such a wonderful time.  I appreciate each and every gift!
