Writing Prompts for the Week of Dec. 4

Happy Monday! 

I hope you all had a GREAT weekend!  Congratulations to our amazing track team...way to go, Lions!!  You all should be so proud of yourselves!!  Thank you for doing such a great job and for representing HFCS so well!!

Below are your journal prompts for the week.  Remember to put focus on the traits of writing.  You should be able to identify your topic and supporting details.  Be sure to use a variety of words and use higher leveled vocabulary when you can...put away "tired" words and use some that might make others stop and think!!

Have a wonderful week and know that I miss you all so very, very much!

God bless,
Mrs. Murphy
