It's Electric...
Writing and Science have come alive!
We live life twice...WE Write
We will continue our writing as we move into expository writing. Your student will make or add to their expert lists. The expert topics include places he/she knows well, jobs/responsibilities, activities, sports, people he/she knows, or animals. We will continue to develop our areas of expertise as we write informational pieces. The purpose of the next few weeks will be writing to inform. We will work on main idea and support details in our writing.
Revising and Editing Homework
One week we will do the regular spelling list (Mrs. Weir), and the next we will provide a story for your child to edit and revise (Mrs. Parker). We will continue to rotate the homework every other week. This practice will allow your child to excel in their editing and revising skills for the remainder of the semester and further prepare them for the editing and revising portion of the state test.
Your student should edit and revise one paragraph each night. This should take no longer than 5-10 minutes per night. We have learned about editing symbols in class. Your child will know what to look for, but just in case, we stapled a copy the editing symbols to the back of your child’s planner.
