Happy Friday!

Hello Class of 2014!

You've made it through your first "week" of middle school!  How was it?  Was it better than you expected or was is just okay?  What are you looking forward to this year?  Do you think this is going to be a great year?  Why?

Answer the above questions in a new journal entry using MS Word.  Remember, create a formal heading and write at least one paragraph.  Don't forget to use the correct punctuation and be aware of your spelling.

Let's have a great day!!

God bless,
Mrs. Murphy

Welcome to the Writing Blog!


You made it to the Writing Blog!  Yea!! 

You will come to the Writing Blog daily to find your journal prompt.  Each day you will write about a given topic (in paragraph format) in a word document.  I will pick seven students each day to share their journals in front of the class.  Each journal should start with a formal heading.

Are you ready to start journaling?!  Great...let's give it a try.

Create a folder and title it: Journals.  Then, go to MS Word and open a new document.  Write about the following:
What is the best thing about returning to school?  Why?

 
Save your journal as a date (example: August 17).

After you save your journal create a shortcut to the Writing blog on your desktop.  :-)

You are doing a great job!  I am so proud of you!!

God bless,
Mrs. Murphy
