Class activities for Thursday, February 9
Spelling: None today due to extra work on writing.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due on Fridays.
Reading: Students worked on literature reading skills today using MobyMax.
Writing: We talked about making a strong essay by having every part of the essay focus on just one main idea, which each person’s opinion of what the book is teaching. We also worked on editing for capitals, end marks, and run on sentences. A literary essay (here’s our example essay) will be due Friday, February 10.
