During the first quarter, the students will typically have grammar assignments nightly. Once Writing Workshop begins, the students are expected to work on their writing packets 20 minutes a night. If a student is absent, he/she must work on the packet for 40 minutes, and it must be verified with a parent signature. The students will have grammar/writing lessons to work on at home once in a while. Some nights it may be a grammar assignment and some nights it may be writing homework. |

| Writing Workshop Writing Workshop is the centerpiece of my classroom. Everything the students work for revolves around this program. From the first days of school, the students will study the four sentence structures in order to understand sentence variety in writing. The students will review the eight parts of speech in order to learn to use the parts of speech correctly and purposefully. Once sentence structure and the eight parts of speech are taught, the students will begin instruction with writing practices and procedures in order to begin workshop. Writing Workshop is an individualized program that provides support to each student. |
