The goal is to practice different kinds of writing. Next week, we start letter writing.
Due Monday - five journal entries. 4 minimum sentences.
Students can catch up for the last 2 days.
(don't tell your student, but I will have Jolly Rancher candy treats if they have 5 entries. If they have at least one entry, I will give them one candy. 5 entries = 5 candies. )
REMINDER: Please purchase/borrow the book Ben and Me (Lawson) by December 1st.
Purchase the book The Sign of the Beaver (Speare) by February 23.
We will NOT be reading the following books together as a class: Wilbur and Orville Wright and The Tale of Anabelle Hedgehog.
We WILL be covering in class the "Everyday Words" grammar lessons paired with these books in the curriculum.
Of course, you parents may choose to read these books with your student.
Ask your student to see their spelling test!
For Days 1-2 in class, we discussed writing journal entries, first person & third person point of view.
We skipped Day b. Student may finish this.
Your student might enjoy making more construction paper analogies, which we did in class - Day 1 c.
