Homework Board and Class Calendar

Class Homework Board

Thispage is meant to support the long range planning for the class.  Thiswill help in understanding what tasks are planned for the class in thecoming weeks.  Please excuse the various font sizes and colours - thisweb program is very temperamental!  I am also trying to have the sidebar updated to be dedicated to our classroom.  The three sub pages belowthis main class page are managed by me.  The others are managed eitherby the associated teacher or someone else. 

Language

We are focusing on the construction of complete sentences with proper grammar and mechanics.  


Writing

There will be several smallwriting activities.  These activities are woven into all subjects. Ingeneral, you will be able to help your child should you remind them tous the 6 & 1 Traits of Writing.  I put a strong focus on thisplanning and evaluation model (see PDF link).  I do talk about and usethe Power Writing organizational structure to a lesser extent.

This is coupled with structuring paragraphs using the 6 & 1 Traits of Writing:
