Writing/Spelling
In writing this past week, we worked on using great transition words and choosing awesome word choice to help persuade our audience and help our persuasive essays flow. We are currently publishing our essays, and will celebrate our finished pieces this Friday! In Spelling, the test over homophones will be Thursday, December 18th.
Also, our classroom spelling bee will be held on Wednesday and Thursday. Students have the Great American SpellCheck newspaper that contains study words. Some students have also asked me for additional study lists.
