PORTICO's Calendar

The calendar on this page is aligned with my students' writing prompts. By clicking on one of the dates, you will see either a writing prompt or a quote. The prompts can be used as a title or a potential entry, while the quote can be an opportunity to reflect on each quote.

These are meant to be an entry in our Response Journals. If you're ever stumped regarding what to write about in your journals, try checking on one of the calendar dates.

Those of you are enrolled in my class may even respond to these prompts while logged into this site and email me your responses.

About our links . . . .
This page, like the others are created with the help of my students, as well as others in our fifth grade. The internet sites below are meant for children their age and reflect their interests. Therefore as far as we know they are all safe and reliable links. If, at any time, any questionable material is mistakenly displayed please contact me at the contact address below. Thanks
