Hello Everyone,

2) I went over the "Friendly Letter" Writing Assignment with the class. An example, from the RWN book, is below.

Class Period 2:

1) Each student wrote a letter to a friend. I told the students they need write the friendly letters on one page full page in their Bubble Books. I want the students to complete the rest for homework and turn in on Monday. I will tear the page out later to check it and put it in their folders.

Students need to write THEIR OWN friendly letter, so I don't want their stories to copy the one in the example or any examples from the internet. Let the student make writing mistakes. This is the first draft. I will correct them later.

Students should follow the structure of the example below, but not the contents. Here is the structure I want them to use:

                                                         (Date)

Dear (Name of friend the student is writing to)

{

Say hello

Ask the friend how he/she is doing

Tell him/her how you are doing

Say why you are writing

Tell him/her what you would like him/her to do

etc. 

Wish him/her a nice day

}

Kind Regards,

(Name of the student who is writing)


Homework: 

1) Friendly Letter. Write to a friend about something interesting on one full page of the Bubble Book. The letter must be the student's own work.

2) OkSensay weekly assignment.

Hello Everyone, Here is what we covered today: Class Period 1: 1) We had the Week 4 Vocabulary quiz. 2) Reading Street Pages 51, 54.  Page 51: I finished talking about the Dalmatian story and underlined words that were part of our vocabulary. Page 54: I started the story "Tripping over the Lunch Lady" Homework:  1) I did not have students write in their communication books today, so the normal homework was not assigned. I may attach more writing to next Friday's homework to make up for this. However, please have the students complete the OkSensay Tasks: 2) During the PTO, I discussed the OKSensay software. Students should start their assignments now. For every week, we will have a new lesson, and there are now assignments from the previous weeks and the next week on the website.

Hello Everyone, Here is what we covered today: Period 2: 1) I handed back the test and the worksheet from last Wednesday. 2) I handed back the "Friendly Letter" writing assignment and informed the students that they need to type up the letter on the computer and print it out for me or give to me on a USB drive. However, a USB drive will be preferable since I could print it out myself with the school's letterhead. 3) I talked about Sensay and told they students that they have a new assignment this week and to complete the past weeks' assignments. 4) I went over the new vocabulary for the new story "The Stormi Giovanni Club".
