✨✉️ Email Etiquette in Action ✉️✨
Mrs. Newman’s ELA students put their editing skills to the test today! 📚 They reviewed a sample student-to-teacher email, spotted errors, and discussed how to make it more professional and polite. 🖊️
Learning how to communicate clearly and respectfully is just as important as grammar and punctuation—and our Wildcats are doing an awesome job practicing both! 🐾💻
