October story – Read to someone - Often times we will hear when something doesn’t sound right so this is a good practice when revising and/or editing our writing. I will be marking this piece of writing for sentence fluency, so it is extra important that students use punctuation and capitals correctly. I will be adding a PowerPoint on the teacher's page with the activities we have done with this piece to help revise their piece.

Homework

Read and Record - Record in agenda for this evening as I am marking the yellow duo-tangs.

Study spelling words - We start with a base of words on Monday that students record into their agendas. We then add words up until Wednesday. On Wednesday I add the list of words to the teacher's page. If you are having trouble finding them your child should be able to show you as I have showed them several times and they have navigated to them on their own when they completed the “Teacher Page Search & Find”.

Sign red duo-tang - You can sign and date the first page. The number of pages they had completed satisfactorily is marked out of 16 on the inside cover of the duo-tang.

Prepare binder to pass in. - Students have been given class time to complete all the activities in this binder. Cover pages for Social Studies, Science, Computer and Wellness should be started~ they should at least have the titles on them. I have both the September and October writing activities posted as PowerPoints in the document section. This should be at the front of their binder and make up the bulk of it with a dark green piece of paper separating the September & October activities.

Writing – work on story - The draft of their story should have a beginning, middle and an end, if not they should complete this for homework today. This is the fifth day it has been assigned as homework and they have had class time to work on it.

- sentence structure / beginnings - All sentences should be circled so students can have a quick visual of how long or short their sentences are. We are looking for variety. All sentences should start with a capital and end with proper puctuation. The first word of every sentence should be highlighted and sentences should have a vaiety of beginings.

Yellow duo-tangs – Halloween packet # 2 - We had time to work on this and research anything they didn't know during computer lab time today.

Study spelling words see words of the week in the pages section. We have review words each week so if your child had trouble with a word on any previous week they should continue to study these.
