We will also be counting up our reading minutes for the month of September to see if we met our individual goals. Just a reminder...the Accelerated Reading goal is due on Monday. See you tonight at the Ice Cream Social!

The Subject / Predicate books have been graded







Your child should have their graded S/P book, rubric, and sloppy copy in their
three-ring portfolio. You may ask them to bring it home and read it to you. The portfolios will be available during conferences, too. Here are a few examples of the work that was produced. Enjoy!

Landform books

The Landform books are due on Thursday, September 27th. The students need to have six definitions and illustrations in their books.

Subject / Predicate books are due on Wednesday, September 26


The rubric for the S/P book was given out last week and the final drafts are due on Wednesday. If you have any questions, please ask your child to provide the rubric and to give a summary of the examples that I provided. The purpose of the book is to work on the different parts of speech and our proofreading symbols. Here are a few pictures of several examples........have fun with it.

The Zoom books have been published and graded!


Our first book has been created and published! I was very impressed with the creativity and extra effort that the students displayed while creating their first book. The purpose of this book was for the students to become familiar with all the steps in the writing process. We discussed and completed activities that demonstrated the prewriting, drafting, revising, proofreading, and publishing process. The students did a nice job of discussing
and following all the steps of the writing process. I really enjoyed viewing these books!
You may ask your child to tell you about
each phase of the writing process and ask
them to show you their book and their grade.
I'm really looking forward to their next writing
assignment!
Here is a published book that was created
by one of the students in our class. Enjoy!
