Snow Day Homework

Posted on

I am sure you have had a great time with your indoor/outdoor activities since Thursday but I need you to try a few things for me prior to returning to school.

  • Click on the clock and practice time (remember we will have a test on elapsed time and graphs this week)
  • Read your chapter book from the library (we have been focusing on nonfiction reading so you haven’t had as much time to read other genres). You should still be completing 1 chapter book per week.
  • Google the Michigan park that you were working on in Writer’s Workshop. See if you can find at least 3 more interesting details that you can add to your paper.

Snow Day

Posted on

After shoveling on such a blustery day, I came in and enjoyed a cup of hot coffee (because of course it was too cold to drink a Diet Coke) while I read over your past papers. I am very impressed at how you have grown as writers. Many of you can easily generate ideas and are doing a better job of elaborating by including dialogue, internal thoughts and feelings. I think we need some extra practice with punctuation and capital letters during spelling activities so that we automatically do this when writing. How are you spending your snow day? Leave me a comment and let me know.
