E day

Hello Essayists,

Today is the day you can show off your skills

You've learned how to plan, you know all the drills.

So prepare to read text, prepare to highlight

It's time to show that you know how to write!

I couldn't help it...this poem just leaked out of me as I sat down to write today's message.  It's kind of appropriate as April in National Poetry Month!  And, today is the day you will write some extended responses and an essay on the ELA test!

Please order your lunch, wash your hands, add to the easel and return your library books.  Once that is done, you can sharpen your pencils and review your essay tips and transition words.

I look forward to greeting you at morning meeting just as soon as announcements are over.

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey
