Writing and Science with Ms. Ellison
Word Work and Writing
Students are working on adapting fairy tales in class. We will complete our fairy tale unit Tuesday May 24th. Students need to finish their first draft by Friday so they can keep on track to complete it before grades are due.
Please make sure you read over their work to check for spelling mistakes and to ensure that it makes sense. A copy of the rubric is below.
Ms. Ellison's Homeroom Spelling
The next spelling quiz is Friday May 20th. Words have already gone home and you can go onto spelling city. You have letters with your child's http://www.spellingcity.com account information. Did you know that spelling city has an app?! Students can complete their assignments on the app. I have shown students some of the games and practice they can use for their spelling words. The spelling contract must be complete up to 15 points and they have until next Friday to get all of their points.They can keep everything in their green homework folder until then. The spelling test can have any of the words from the front of the paper, but I am only requiring them to use the words on the back for practice. If you have any questions please feel free to email me. Thanks!
