If you already had your 20 Day Meeting for January, you will have received an amazing packet put together by our own Mrs. Codiga. All of our teachers went through a writing training at our last Professional Development Day in November discussing the importance and best practices of focusing on formal writing. Often we see families doing a lot of wonderful creative, narrative, or informal journal writing and this is wonderful, but we also need to see formal instruction in informative and opinion writing. The informational writing packets that you received (or will will receive this week) include easy to use and no prep lessons plans and graphic organizers. Please take the time to dig through them and implement them over the next month or so. If you have questions about them, reach out to your EA. Have a great week!
