7th/8th Grade Writing: Week of 8/20-8/24

Overview: This week students are continuing to develop their seed stories in their writers' notebooks.  Students must remember to bring their writers' notebooks every day to class, or else they will receive a zero for the day. All writing in the next few weeks will be done in their writers' notebooks.

Upcoming: Students will have to turn in their writers' notebooks beginning the week of 8/27-8/31. The initial schedule (prone to change) will be:

• Mondays: 7B journals due
• Wednesdays: 7A journals due
• Friday: 8A journals due

Families, please note that students will be allowed to continue writing in their writers' journals on the days they are due to be turned in, but will not take them home that day or the day after.  For example, students in 7B will leave their notebooks in the classroom on Monday night, and will continue to write in them Tuesday during class - they will NOT have homework on Mondays in their writers' notebooks then.  Similarly, students in 7A will leave their notebooks on Wednesday nights and therefore not have any homework in their writers' notebooks on Wednesdays.  This is just to inform you of when your scholar may not actually bring home their notebook.

Please feel free to contact Ms. Geng at sgeng@learncharter.org with any additional questions or concerns.
