5th Grade Readers

Completion of the story Charles by Shirley Jackson included a writing exercise to demonstrate student understanding. These writings went home with all but one student today. The exception involved a Google issue that we are resolving. At any rate, look for some writing - and other information - from fifth grade readers today!

Thanks! Here's a sample of one student's writing:

Dear parent/ guardian,

Laurie, also known as Charles, began the school year with an unacceptable behavior. Some bad language and violence are some of the things your child is doing in class. you should plan to work with your child on behaving better. I´m sorry to tell you this, but Laurie´s bad behavior has resulted in my spanking him. Also, Laurie has refused to do exercises and/or his work. However, we are working with him and he is becoming a wonderful helper. I am looking forward to working with your child this year.

Sincerely,

Kindergarten Teacher

That last sentence reminds me that this student has teachers in the family!
