Fernbank Field Trip

On Tuesday, April 12, we are taking a field trip to the Fernbank Museum to see the Mythic Creatures exhibit. Should be great fun! Here's the permission slip in case yours went missing.

READ!!

Our homework, in 6th and 7th Grade, is to READ in a quiet, dedicated space for 30 minutes (at least 15 pages) each and every night. Students should record the number of pages they read on their Reading Calendar.

**6th Grade**
What a day! Today we worked on peer editing and revision of our creative writing stories to make sure they have a clear beginning, middle, end. After peer editing, we worked a bit with character traits - finding the just right word to describe a person. We finished up by working on 3-4 sentences that will be part of our introductions tomorrow. Tomorrow we will begin work on our expository essays starting with this introduction.
HW: Read.

**7th Grade**
We started off today with peer editing/revision of our creative writing pieces. For poetry, that looks like this. For narratives, it includes the figurative language piece, but also these editing and revision items. In the afternoon, we had some time to work on publishing them in the computer lab.
