Today we celebrated our reading with pizza and a new card game called Gin. The average student in our class has read more than 300 pages of chapter books this year.
We are going to be starting our essays this week. Each week we will write an essay on Sunday or Monday. Then Mr. Canavan will correct it and we will rewrite it. The rewritten essays will be a large part of the students final grades.
Parents may not help with these essays because this is part of teaching self-editing. That means that students need to learn to find and correct their own mistakes.
Rawya Abu Rabee wrote a story that was accepted for the Encyclopedia. We now have more than 25 pages finished. We expect to have almost 200 when it is finished.
This class is doing exceptional work this year. Keep it up.
