Various writing types will be completed each trimester. All writing will be graded according to the district rubric.
Journals
Students will be given a journal for independent writing, journaling, free writing, etc.
Reading
Your child will have many opportunities throughout the year to engage in independent reading, so they should have a book available every day. I am more than happy to recommend books to you for your child. I have hundreds of books of various genres available in our classroom library that can be "checked out."
