« Tuesday homework | Main | Tune-In Thursday »

I hope everyone got home safely and as dry as possible.

We covered the structure of a paragraph ( 5-11 sentences) and topic (main idea) sentences today. Tonight's homework involves writing a paragraph using tonight's spelling words. Please include some simple and compound sentences in your paragraph.

My classes will be joining Mrs. Abrams' LA classes for a wonderful opportunity; meet the author and book chat. We will be reading novels from the Dream Series. Most students checked out one of the novels from the Dream Series today. All students have been asked to read a novel from the series and try to complete it by the time they return from the Thanksgiving Holiday. One of the authors from this series is coming from California to visit our school and participate in a meet the author and book chat. The book chat is scheduled for December 13th. Each student needs an adult reading buddy, someone who will also read the novel chosen by the student. Reading buddies are invited for the book chat and meet the author on Dec. 13th, however, reading buddies are NOT required to come. I will send home a packet of information tomorrow.

HOMEWORK:
Read for 20-30 minutes/Record pages read (Our goal is to read a minimum of 5 days and at least 100 pages each week.)
Write a paragraph (5 or more sentences) using tonight's spelling words. Include simple and compound sentences.
Spelling quiz tomorrow.
