Just as a reminder, the author's purpose paragraphs are due tomorrow (A day) or Thursday (B day). For this assignment, you were to write three different paragraphs about your favorite food. That first paragraph should persuade someone else to eat the food, the second paragraph should simply inform the reader about the food, and the last paragraph should be an entertaining story about the food, or present the food in an entertaining way.

The Ides of March extra credit assignment is due on Thursday, March 15th. Please scroll down to see the instructions.

Parents, I sent home progress reports the last two days. Please make sure you take a look at it, sign it, and return with your student. This is a small assignment for the gradebook.

Finally, if anyone would be willing to donate construction paper, I will gladly take some. I am running very low. Multicolored cardstock is also a useful material to have on hand. Thank you in advance for the donations!
