Writing Date
I'm an Egyptian English teacher who teaches grade 2 Arab students. I wonder what is the proper way to write the date on the board. I write it as follows eg: Friday 15th September 2017.
Should I insert any commas?
should I write it on the left hand side of the board or the right hand side?
Thank u in advance

There are lots of ways of writing dates. "Friday 15th September 2017" is fine. It doesn't really matter which side of the board you write it on, but I would probably put it on the top right, just because it is a bit easier to leave it there as you reuse the main part of the board.

By the way, "u" is an extremely casual abbreviation that is appropriate only in very limited circumstances, e.g. in a quick text message to a friend. (I would personally say that it is never appropriate. To me it always looks childish or uneducated. But this is just my opinion, and others do not take such an extreme view
