Writing Weekly: Writing Lab News
Third and Fourth Grade Students
This week in the Writing Lab
Third and Fourth Grade students worked from home this week on the Writable program. The focus for this week was to integrate writing with Social Studies and Science.
Third grade students had to describe an animal, but not give the name! The description should be so thorough that I can guess it without the student naming the animal! Have your child check back on this assignment to see if my guess is CORRECT!
Fourth grade students watched a School House Rock on the branches of the government. Then, they wrote a paragraph describing each of the three branches.
If your student hasn't finished their Writable assignment, it is not too late! You have until Friday!
If your student did not complete their narrative, opinion or Informational writing which we started at school, they can finish this assignment also.
Optional Learning Oppurtunties: Writing BONUS BOARD!
Want something to do over Spring Break? Since we will be spending the break at home, I have created a BONUS BOARD with some writing choices your student can do!
