Welcome to Ms. Dawn's Writing Class!

Hello there!  I'm so glad you stopped by!  Welcome to the home of Ms. Dawn's 5th grade writing class.  Here you will find loads of helpful information and tips on...writing (of course).  Writing is a personal passion of mine and I love to share it with my students.  We've got some fabulously talented writers this year, and we hope to break our school's 6 curse.  It is our 5th grade goal to have, not only the first 6, but a true multitude of sixes on the writing assessment in February.  So, let's dig deep, dear writers, sharpen those pencils, and get busy!

Love,
Ms. Dawn

Thanks, LeKendre {AKA: $money$}! I know you will do well on TCAP! 17 days and counting...
Your Teacher,
Ms. Dawn

P.S.: Doing well on tests, and in school in general, will help you make that dough {$$$} when you grow up. Remember, $ isn't everything - it shouldn't be your main goal. I think you're going to do something very special with your life... something that will really matter and help others. Can't wait to see what your future will bring! =)

Dear Demonte,

Thanks for your comment! To answer your question, yes, Shakespeare was a dad. He had 3 children with his wife Anne Hathaway {not the "Princess Diaries" actress with the same name, of course}. Susanna Shakespeare was the oldest and then there were twins, Hamnet and Judith {How'd you like the name Hamnet? Eeek!}.
What did you mean by you could "take the fame?" Do you think you could be related to him or something? =) You have a better chance of being related to a very famous American playwright named Arthur Miller (1915-2005), who won the Pulitzer Prize for his writing.

Your Teacher,
Ms. Dawn

Dear LaKendrea {AKA: K~BBY},

Thanks! Your comment meant a lot to me!!! Whether you know it or not, teachers often never get to see or know the difference they've made... the students move to the next grade and exit our lives and we can just hope and pray that we made a difference. I hope that when you go to 6th, that though you will exit OKES, you won't exit my life, and that I'll still be in touch if you want! Keep doing your best, too!

Love
Your Teacher,
Ms. D.

Dear TCAP Destroyer,

Thanks! I know you will do your utmost in this world and rock it... and to quote Robert Frost, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and [you],/[You] took the one less traveled by,/And that [will make] all the difference."

Love Your Teacher,
Ms. Dawn

Dear Son,

I agree! I was planning to do that, but I have to get a letter of permission ready for your parents - for them to OK that your name can appear online. I'll get right on that. Love you, too, writing son!!!
