Today I gave the classes a basic idea of what we will be doing this year. In short, we will be writing. To increase their skills in writing, I will be teaching them vocabulary and grammar. As of today, only sections 4 and 5 need to worry about buying a vocabulary book. I will send the letter home soon.
Students need to be prepared for class each day. As of now, that simply means having paper and a pencil. Over the next few weeks, we will be working on our first piece, and I will be introducing them to various tasks they will be doing throughout the first marking period. The first task will be to write 700 words a week. More details will follow.
Over the next few days, students will be taking various diagnostics. We will also be studying Barney the Dinosaur.
