FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7

@@@@MID TERM SPELLING ACTIVITY--DUE AT THE END OF THE HOUR:

The focus for today's class is to finish and hand in the mid-term spelling activity. If you are already finished and hand it in at the beginning of the hour, you have the following options...

@@@@30 MINUTE WRITING NOTE--DUE MONDAY:

Today I was willing to let students write in class for 30 minutes and I would sign off in their planner for the 30 minutes of additional writing. Other students just opted to do the 30 minutes at home, like usual. I will check for those signatures this Monday! REMEMBER...doing your editing counts toward 30 minutes of writing.

@@@@WORD ART:

For those finished with the spelling activity at the beginning of the hour, one option was to do "word art" like a graphic artist on some sentence strips of paper I have in my room. This is just another way to work with the spelling words and help decorate the room.

@@@@SSR:

For those finished with the spelling activity at the beginning of the hour, one option was to read your library book.
