Friday, September 6th

Back to school!

Quick intro to class, a poem “What You Will Need in Class Today” by Matthew Foley, notebook intros, Quickwrite #1 – your reader/writer statement (if you missed class, see Mrs. C for details), bookpass 🙂

Assignment: If you haven’t already, see your school email to join the google classroom and fill out the quick survey this weekend to help Mrs. C get to know you.

Have a great weekend!

Welcome Back???

Hopefully, I’ll see you all soon. Until then, if you are curious about class or just want to check out the website – go for it. My advice for all this extra time? Read. Something. Awesome.

Also, I’m sending a quick intro survey via google forms & your school email/google classroom. If you get a second, go ahead and fill it out.
