Two days until our Thanksgiving holiday – We can do this!
Spelling quiz is today with grammar quiz tomorrow. Last week, we watched 3 Scholastic videos related to Thanksgiving. Students completed a three column chart with notes. These notes are to be used for your weekly journal assignment which is an informative essay. You may choose to write in first person as a fictional character present at one of the events, or strictly as a non-fiction paragraph. These 9-sentence paragraphs are due tomorrow.
Students in my homebase class have requested a secret Santa swap. I am sending home permission slips for this today. If you want to participate, please return tomorrow so we can draw names before Thanksgiving.
Looking forward, we have a book review due before Christmas holidays. Please see me about the book you plan to review, or you can choose to write about our read aloud – Double Dutch by Sharon Draper.
