Blog Love

Our literature reading has come to an end for this marking period, although Reading For Enjoyment (RFE) will continue on Fridays. Yesterday students took their short story assessment and grades are entered. I will talk to kids next week about my Correct & Reflect process--they can earn back points by correcting their incorrect errors in my classroom before or after school or during seminar.

The This I Believe essay is due at the end of the school day today shared with me on Google docs. Today groups began designing a blog on which to post those essays. It's real world writing--written and published for many to read! (Students do have the option of setting their blogs "private", open only to me an their group members.)

I'm enjoying the Class of 2016--they're a great bunch of energetic kids!
