The Heartland Heartbeat

November 10: “How- To” – Heartland’s Writing Journal!

Are you wondering what to do with that large writing journal resource your HST gave you?!?! We have the answer!!

Our Heartland Writing Team has taken the “what to do for writing” guess work away and constructed an amazing open and teach resource for families to use! One of our very own writing team members, Paula Davis, is going to not only show us how to use the writing journal, but will offer effective tips and tricks for teaching writing! Paula will also cover the importance of scoring writing and provide an overview of how rubrics drive writing instruction!

It’s going to be a fun filled meeting and we can’t wait to see you there!

Note: This is an interactive meeting. Please bring a writing journal and sticky notes!

We no longer need an order in Procurify for free field trips or for tickets paid out of pocket. Continue placing orders in Procurify for any field trip tickets paid for with student funds.

An important reminder about chaperone tickets: Heartland allows one chaperone ticket per family to be covered with student planning amounts. If the field trip allows additional chaperones to attend, those tickets must be paid out of pocket.
