Our COW is finally here! We will be going over the guidelines in class today, and I will require that students bring their sheets home to get signed (sorry about all the signatures lately ) before they use them. Hopefully, we can start this week!

Due Monday:

The second draft of our creative writing is due Monday. This needs to be at least one full page (with at least 8 words per line - if your handwriting is bigger, make it a page and a half!) and I will be checking it for errors and grammar before our final copies!

Great job today on the riverwalk!  We had no big problems, and everyone seemed to have fun.  Thanks to all those who helped me figure out what was going on, too!  It was my first time doing this, and I had a lot of fun.
