The writer is great at expressing his frustration! His message seems to be desiring simplicity in one's wants, but I do not really understand the outcome with the father and all of the children.
Area of growth: Coordination of Subjects with Meaning of the Story]]> 2019-01-03 10:39:15 UTC https://padlet.com/greatercapitalregionteachercenter/cf1yqpfxbd18/wish/317178326 coconnor28 https://padlet.com/greatercapitalregionteachercenter/cf1yqpfxbd18/wish/322676342 Strength: explanations are included for each detail (item that she'd bring with her) and include WHY she would bring these items

Area of strength - H.Y. used an upper case letter at the beginning of the sentence and he wrote the rest of the letters in the lower case.

Area of growth - H.Y. could improve the spacing between his words to help make his writing more readable. ]]> 2019-01-25 03:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/greatercapitalregionteachercenter/cf1yqpfxbd18/wish/324215903 leggleston https://padlet.com/greatercapitalregionteachercenter/cf1yqpfxbd18/wish/324215911 2019-01-25 03:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/greatercapitalregionteachercenter/cf1yqpfxbd18/wish/324215911
