Class activities for Thursday, December 19

Spelling: We reviewed soft syllable endings, such as in the words mountain, fountain, certain, again. These words are spelling surprises because the endings aren’t pronounced like they are written.

Cursive: Cursive workbook pp. 60-62 are due on Friday after break.

Reading: Today was a reading day in Literature Circles. Some students worked on summarizing and using context clues as reading strategies.

Writing: Students continued drafting for our next writing project, 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 Friday, January 17. Students should be drafting the beginning of their adventure story at this point.

Choose Your Own Adventure Resources
