Spelling Word Paragraphs:  Please use four spelling words from the list below.  The spelling word needs to be identified within the topic sentence.  Then students will complete three details and end with a conclusion sentence.  For example:  

Avoid:  

      Bananas are truly hard to avoid.  They are really good because they don't tast like any other kind of fruit.  They are Safari Cheech's favorite food, too.  One time, I had a banana split for dessert.  Every time I see a banana, I really want to eat it, and usually do!

Wednesday, February 23rd

Sentences Continued:  Students are encouraged to complete 8 more sentences from their spelling list distributed on Monday evening.  
Also, worksheets: On the back of the "Comparing with 'good' and 'bad'" students must write two paragraphs describing food/eating.  The first paragraph will be using the better and best adjectives and the second paragraph uses the worse and worst adjectives.  All information comes from the worksheet. For example:


      Some foods are better for you than other foods.  Fresh vegetables are some of the best foods of all.  Apples are one of the best of all fruits for your teeth.  Milk is one of the best drinks of all.  Some people eat better meals than other people.

Spelling Sentences: This week we don't have any challenge words.  So, I have asked students to choose 5 spelling words each night for their sentence compositions.  The directions are to write five complete sentences that include both introductory phrases and an appositive in each.  Each sentence should also be a compound sentence.  These are all review, and if help is needed, please look on our Language Arts blog for more information on each topic listed above.


Example: 
While at her apartment, Sarah, my cousin, threw a pinecone at me, and we both ended up in trouble.
