Welcome Falcons!
     I hope every single one of you had a well-rested and enjoyable Spring Break.  I know we may not think it was long enough, but I must say it was a nice short break.  I must add that I'm looking forward to seeing all of you.
     This week I will be having you all present your Spring Break News Report.  Please remember that this report should have been based on something you did during Spring Break.  You all should have typed it and added pictures, so I'm really looking forward to listening to your interesting reports.  We will be doing this the first 15 minutes of class for a couple of days and then moving on with our lesson which will consist of Revising and Editing strategies.  We will be working on these together, so make sure you do follow along.
     Students, please remember that attendance is of extreme importance so do your best to be at school daily.  If you are absent, please make sure to ask the teachers for any assignment you might have missed.  This way you don't fall behind.  If you happen to have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank You,
Ms. Narvaez

Welcome Falcons!

     I know that you all are on your Spring Break; however, I need to keep your brain busy.  The assignment that you will be given is similar to one that you have done before.  This time it will be a little bit different.  You will have to write about one particular thing you did this Spring Break, and you are to create it into a news report.  Oh! I also want you to type it and add pictures that are related to the event that you are writing about.

     For example:  

     Good morning... This is Ms. Narvaez reporting live from my Uncle Joe's Ranch.  Today we are waking up early to collect the chicken's eggs.  After this, we are heading to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone, and yes, I do mean everyone.  I must add that we currently have 15 family members present.  My Aunt Mari and I will be making potatoes and egg for everyone while my grandmother makes homemade flour tortillas.  My Grandma Francisca makes the best tortillas ever!  They are absolutely delicious.  After breakfast, we will be cleaning the kitchen and heading out to see my Uncle's horse practice for the next race in San Antonio which will be held June 7, 2018 at 6:00 p.m.

     Remember this is just a short example.  I'm sure you all can do better because you all are awesome!

Thank you,

Ms. Narvaez

Welcome Falcons!
     Here we are beginning another week.  We have so much to do, so please make sure you go to bed early and get a good night rest.  I can guarantee you that if you go to sleep early, you will wake up fully energized and ready to go. 
     You all are extremely intelligent so please continue to give it your all.  Make sure to stay focused.  This way you can keep doing well in every class. 
     This week we are going to continue writing.  You all will be viewing a short video about Texas and select two things you would like to write about Texas and take notes.  I will also provide you with some time to do research about the two things you selected.
     Remember that attendance is extremely important so try to be here everyday.  Inevitable situations are completely understandable; however, if you are out you need to make sure that you ask your teachers for the assignments that you may be missing.
Thank you,
Ms. Narvaez

Welcome Falcons!

     This week we are going to very busy.  Why?  You ask.  It's because we are going to be writing, writing, and writing.  You all do journals, Power Writing, D.O.L., and writing in general, so you should be used to it by now.  As a matter of fact, you all should be better and improved writers because of this.  I have no doubt in my mind that you all are going to do absolutely amazing.  Especially, because each and everyone of you is extremely intelligent so just give it your all.
     Attendance is extremely important; therefore, please try to be here daily.  If you are out, please remember to ask the teachers for any missing assignments this way you will not feel a dent in your grade.  Inevitable situations are understandable.
Reminder-
This Friday we will be going to the Fair.
Thank you,
Ms. Narvaez

Welcome Falcons!
     I hope you all had a restful weekend.  This week will be a busy week, so you must try to remain focused and give it your all because you will be working on your tests for every class.  As I have previously stated, you all are extremely intelligent, so this means that each and everyone of you have to do outstanding.  Remember to take your time and use it wisely.
     Please make sure that you try to be here daily.  This way you don't fall behind.  If for some reason, you aren't able to make it, I suggest you remind the teacher.  That way you can make arrangements to make up for that test.  Oh! Please don't forge that inevitable situations are understandable.
Thank you,
Ms. Narvaez

Welcome Falcons!
     I hope you all had a restful weekend because we have plenty to do this week.  Please make sure to get a good sleep at night that way you are fully energized and ready to begin a new week.  Every single one of you is extremely intelligent; therefore, there shouldn't be a reason why you should be falling behind.  You are capable of doing so much so please don't limit yourself.
     This week we will be going over capitalization rules.  I know that you all should already know this by now; however, some of you are not applying the rules that you have learned in the past.  It's imperative that you know the rules and implement them in your writing.  This way when you test next year for your Writing STAAR you are able to pass with flying colors.  Students, I cannot stress how important it is that you practice correct grammar at all times.  It is to your advantage.
     Please don't forget that attendance is also of great importance.  If you miss a day, you miss out on a lot.  Make sure to ask your teachers for missing assignments.  Inevitable situations are completely understandable; however, please try your best to be here daily.
Thank you,
Ms. Narvaez

     This week we are going to continue with expository writing.  Remember that it's important to stay focused this way you don't miss out on any information that was provided or fall behind.
     Oh! Please try your best to be here daily.  This way you don't miss out on anything.  If you miss out on one day, you miss out on a lot.  I understand unforeseen situations are inevitable, but you must make sure to ask your teachers for assignments that you may be missing.  This way you don't see a dent in your grade.
     Let's Work together to make it a Wonderful Week!
Thank you,
Ms. Narvaez
