Assignments due on Sept. 29

Holy Smokes...next class will be at the end of September! Time flies when you are having fun!

I feel like everyone left class feeling a little more assured of where we are headed! It is stressful to be in school and have families...but make sure to take time to enjoy this class! (And everything else!) There are so many "fun" and engaging things that you will be able to do with your future students!

READ CHAPTER 13

Grammar Poster
Make a handwritten Grammar Poster to hang in your room that is focused on one of the Grammar component discussed in Chapter 13. Use resources to help out with some great ideas!

Grammar Lesson IDEA
Bring an idea to class of what you like to do for your grammar lesson plan. Hint! It might be a good idea for it to match your poster! And great if it would match a concept in your children's literature book.  

I think that's all...Did I miss anything???
