Happy Snow Day

on March 2, 2018
Brainstormers Story – I have had a couple of parents ask about our Brainstormers story assignment.  They are supposed to write a fictional story or personal narrative to turn in to the Brainstormers production company.  They will be taking our stories and acting them out with our students helping as some of the actors.  It is a lot of fun!

They should have already completed  a graphic organizer.   The story should include characters (including a description), setting (where and when), activity the characters are doing, problem, solution,  title and author.    They should have already complete the rough draft in the ELA journals, if they have not finished this in writing they are welcome to type it.  They are then supposed to type the final in a Google Doc and share it with me.   They are allowed to add a picture if they choose.  Below is the Graphic Organizer used during the assembly by the Brainstormers.
Spelling test – Please make sure your student completes their spelling test online today.
Missing work – Please check parent connect for missing assignments.  Our marking period is over on March 16th and all missing work is due by March 15th.
Here are some other items I have been asked to post:
