Tonight is the Crosstown Classic Showdown to help Shea Anderluh's family with costs for her treatments. To commemorate this, students today had a "free write" day, with parameters... Students could write for a real purpose (i.e. complaint letter, praise letter, thank you letter, suggestion letter, editorial, opinion paper, etc.), or for poetry month. Whatever they decided to do, it must be written in their best handwriting or typing, with no errors. If students wanted to make it colorful, we had markers and construction paper. If students wanted to mail the letter, we found the address. Etc., etc., etc. Hopefully students wrote something meaningful to them!

Homework:
* Read 20 min./blog by Sunday night.
* Come to the Crosstown Classic if you can!
