​Writing:

Before the school closure, students were working on memoirs these were due Friday March 13^th. The new due date is to be determined. If possible these could be emailed to me at kayla.oakes@nbed.nb.ca

For some extra writing practice students could write for 5-10 minutes each day.

This website has a lot of creative writing prompts for middle school: http://www.spencerauthor.com/prompts/

Reading/speaking and listening:

Students were supposed to be starting book talks this week, however this will have to wait. Instead if, students could read a good fit book during this two-week period then we could hit the ground running when we return.

This website has a lot of great resources for encouraging reading. A lot of it is geared for primary grades, however it also applies to middle school aged children https://www.readingrockets.org/article/selecting-books-your-child-finding-just-right-books

Extra:

Many students had asked if we could cover cursive writing so they can sign their signatures, this is the perfect opportunity to practice this. I will attach some practice sheets.
