Happy Saturday Students!

I am busy responding to your answers to this week's Essential Question on Collaborize Classroom and I must say, I am quite impressed by the response!

I will EXTEND the deadline from Sunday, midnight to next Sunday at midnight to give you an opportunity to read my reply, answer back AND to read at least three student responses in your class and give a response.  

Reading other people's responses and critiquing them is a powerful way to develop your own ability to form an argument and express your opinion.  

Here are a few pointers to improve your answers

• Use Spell Check 
• Check your grammar 
• Re-read the article 
• Read what your peers are saying

I am VERY proud of you so far for giving positive feedback to your peers and freely expressing your opinions.  Keep up the good work! 

Ms. Marcoccio
P.S.- Thank you for maintaining a clean and tidy classroom!  The evening clean-up staff complimented YOU on your consideration and YOUR respect for YOUR classroom!  You have been AWESOME this week!  {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
