Class activities for Monday, April 10
Reading: We had WEB, our silent reading time, during today’s shortened schedule.
Language Arts: Today’s mini-lesson was about writing believable dialogue between characters, using slang, sayings, interruptions, and contractions, and to also start a new paragraph for each new person talking. Students should be well into revising or editing for this piece of writing due April 13.
Spelling and Cursive: Today, we looked at how quotation marks are used to say the exact words of someone, or for the name of a title, or to indicate the words of a familiar saying. A spelling test will be Thursday.
The Level Four Core Word list is an option for continued spelling practice.
Math: None due to half-day schedule.
Science: None due to half-day schedule.
Social Studies: We corrected, discussed and collected the chapter 3 worksheets assigned last Wednesday.
