## Prompt

```text
Write this week's class update for my students' families.

**Grade and class:** [e.g. "2nd grade, Room 14" or "7th grade math, all sections"]
**What we learned this week:** [TOPICS, PROJECTS, HIGHLIGHTS]
**What's coming next week:** [UPCOMING TOPICS, TESTS, PROJECTS]
**Dates and reminders:** [field trips, forms due, early release, events]
**Something families can do at home:** [optional - or ask me to suggest one]
**Format it will go out in:** [email / school app / printed]
**Languages families read:** [e.g. "English and Spanish"]

Requirements:
- Under 250 words. Families read this on a phone.
- Order: one-line greeting, "This week" (3 bullets), "Coming up" (3 bullets), "Dates to know" (bold dates), "Try this at home" (one 5-minute activity tied to what we learned), sign-off.
- Plain words, no education jargon ("standards-aligned", "formative") unless explained.
- No individual student information or photos descriptions that identify students.
- If a date or detail is missing, mark it [CONFIRM] instead of guessing.

Return the update plus a subject line. If I listed another language, also give a translation and note that a fluent speaker should review it before sending.
