4/1 Cesar Chavez Holiday- No school
4/15 - 4/19 Spring Break
Fairy Tale Book Project Due Dates-
* If you finish ahead of schedule, feel free to turn in your story early.
2/28 - Typing instructions and drafts sent home
3/11- Bring in a typed copy of your story. Parents, many of the students are writing lengthy stories. Your child may need some assistance in completing the typing. However, students should complete a healthy portion of this on their own. No other language arts HW will be assigned during this time to facilitate typing. Students should spend approx. 20 minutes each evening working on their typing. This will be helpful practice for them for the upcoming SBAC assessment.
3/14 You will receive this copy back with my feedback. Working at home, consider my feedback to do final revisions and proofreading of your story.
3/20 Your final copy is due in class.
This is a good time to make sure your child has access to a working printer and that you have ink.
