We were pretty busy yesterday, weren't we?
In class, we did pages 16, 280 and 281. We also practiced new cursive letters: i, j, t, u, v, and w. Finally, I introduced our journal writing project.
For your homework, let's continue cursive writing practice in our old notebooks (2 lines each of the new letters).
Next, many kids didn't have a chance to write their persuasive paragraphs on page 126, so let's do our best to write that for next time (Ren, you get to take a break from that homework!)
Finally, I'd like you to try writing your first journal entry. Look at the guidelines I gave you for writing, and have fun putting your ideas on paper! If you want to draw a picture about your journal topic, too, I'd love to see it. You can draw it on the back side of the page you write your paragraph on.
Do your best, and I'll see you next week :-)

Homework
Hi guys -- I think I told you clearly about this last class but I'll post it here in case you forgot. You have 3 things to do for homework:
- Write your persuasive paragraph on page 126
- Decorate your new journal (make sure you put your name on it somewhere)
- In your old notebook, practice 2 rows each of the cursive letters (capitals and lower case) that we learned last week.
See you tomorrow!
- Write your persuasive paragraph on page 126
- Decorate your new journal (make sure you put your name on it somewhere)
- In your old notebook, practice 2 rows each of the cursive letters (capitals and lower case) that we learned last week.
See you tomorrow!

Homework!
Hi guys --
I told you about this at our last meeting, but just to remind you, you should prepare to write your persuasive paragraph by doing page 125 in the workbook. Use your mind map to help you choose facts, details, and reasons why you think your activity is a really good one. (If you were absent last week, we brainstormed ideas about why we liked a particular activity so that we can write a paragraph that might persuade the reader to try that activity.)
I'm looking forward to seeing your ideas on paper on Saturday!

Homework for Saturday, June 13
Sorry for the very very very late post -- I think most kidz knew that our homework is supposed to be page 123, but a few members were absent. Sorry for the oversight!! So bring your book with three lovely paragraphs about yourself to class tomorrow! I am looking forward to reading everyone's writing.

Homework for Saturday, June 6
Hi guys! Sophie can't come this Saturday (Dodgeball practice), but I will be there!! I think Doug asked you to have another look at the "Kites" story if you had trouble with the corrections last week. Also, please try pages 46 & 47. See you Saturday!
