Hi all. Thanks for your continued hard work as we get closer to the break. I'm really looking forward to some rest and sure you are too.

Don't forget:

We have final, published drafts due tomorrow!

Tomorrow is a shortened schedule - don't plan on finishing anything at lunch or during advisory!

**6th Grade**

Today we heard some more awesome presentations! Hooray for great 6th graders!

Then, we cleared out our folders, found out about portfolio eligible items, and worked for a bit on our creative writing drafts.

Lastly, we talked about our homework over the break. We are reading, writing one letter about our book, and getting a book commercial ready.

HW: Final draft of creative writing story due Friday. Read 30 minutes tonight. Make sure you have enough books to keep you reading the whole break!

**7th Grade**

Today we read for 30 minutes, heard about winter break homework (reading, writing a book letter, and doing a reflection on one book we're finished so far this term).

Then, we continued to work on publishing our anthologies.

HW: Final anthology due tomorrow. Read 30 minutes.
