Homework During the Break

Today your scholar brought home their homework assignment for the break. They are making a Penguin Craftivity. It consists of 6 penguins, each penguin is for a different paragraph. Once scholars have written their 6 paragraphs, they will cut them out, glue them together and bring them back to school for a Writing Grade. This will count for their Publishing/Projects portion of their writing grade. Below are pictures of the instructions and each of the 6 penguin pages. Each penguin has a different set of instructions. All paragraphs should be 5 sentences.  Also remember that your Science Fair Projects are due on the Wednesday that we return, January 14, 2015.

Writing Checklist

Below you will see your scholar's "Checklist for Editing Writing."  This is the checklist that they need to use from now on when they are turning in a writing for class.  Please go through this with your child so that you are both aware of how they will be graded from this point forward.  Thank you!

Narrative Writing on Learn Zillion

This quarter we are working on Narrative Writings.  Learn Zillion has a set of lessons to help your scholar with their in class writings.  They will watch videos that take them through the process of writing a narrative.  I have assigned the first 2 videos on Learn Zillion to be watched by Sunday, August 17th.
