Class activities for Thursday, January 10

Spelling: Today we reviewed the idea that some words have silent letters. We also practiced making plural words from words ending in f or fe. In those words, the f is changed to a v, as in wolves, knives, or leaves.

Cursive: Ten cursive sentences of seven or more words each are due on Fridays.

Reading: Today was a reading day in Literature Circles; some groups worked on making inferences as reading strategies.

Writing: We talked about providing clues in writing to let the reader make inferences, instead of always telling ther reader exactly what happens. Students also continued to draft their story websites today.

Our next writing project is a Choose Your Own Adventure fiction gamebook. Students will write a fiction adventure story with choices that the reader can make. Each choice can change how the story turns out.  Students will publish their adventure as a website at sites.mrhowd.com. See below for more details.

This project is due Monday, January 21. Students should be drafting at this point.

Social Studies: We started to learn about the “Lost Colony” of Roanoke.
