Bell-Ringer: This is no-name-calling week.  Is name calling a problem at our school?  Explain.  If so, what could be done to make it less of a problem?  If not, what could be done to decrease name-calling in other places.  Use a topic sentence and a conclusion for your writing.  (Remember when we learned about writing paragraphs.) Label this entry "No-Name-Calling" and include today's date.
(As you answer this, consider whether name-calling is a form of bullying.) Write 1/2 page or more.

(If you are absent, you could come in during Cave Time to write in your composition book -- Tuesdays or Fridays, or come after school, or write it on a piece of paper to tape into your composition book.)
