Dear families,
This post pertains to students who have me as their TAG Writing teacher second block in the mixed 4th and 5th grade class.
We have had a busy week back, revising and re-drafting our This I Believe Essays! Today we co-created the rubric that we (students and teacher) are going to use to evaluate students’ final products. I have attached the rubric for your perusal. Unfortunately, we had a fire drill right in the middle of our work and 4th graders had to leave just afterward for a performance, so their input into the creation of the rubric was sadly limited!
I am asking students to finish and turn in a final version of their This I Believe essays by next Wednesday, December 9, including their rubric which they will have filled out to evaluate their work.
In addition, on Monday, December 7, we will have our next vocabulary test. This time it will be a fill-in-the-blank test with a word bank. I have attached this week’s packet just in case you need an extra copy for studying over the weekend! The packet is due completed on Monday as well.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
