Invitation to Edit

Last week's Invitation to Edit, 14 Cows for America, will not go in the gradebook. This is new to them and will be considered practice until I feel like they have a better understanding of it.

Poetry Recitation

Parents,

A yellow letter went home 2 weeks ago about poetry recitation. They were due Friday and only a few students have returned them. Every student MUST memorize a poem and recite it in front of the class, even if they are not participating in the school wide contest. I need the permission form and copy of their poem by Wednesday. I will be using the county rubric for grading their recitation. This grade WILL go in the grade book.

Have a great week!
Ms. Faulkner
