How to Write a Great Comment
Mrs. Yollis' Classroom blog has a great post on how to write quality comments. Check it out!
Whew! Our First Full Week!
We had a great week!
The students wrote business letters to their state's tourism departments. They addressed the envelopes, wrote the appropriate business letter format, and even proofread their peers letters before they went out in the mail yesterday. We also learned about how the mail works!
We learned about becoming better writers by varying our sentence types. Now, we can correctly write compound sentences and simple sentences!
We practiced the reading comprehension skill, Understanding Sequence, and we recognized word that are often found in "time order" reading texts. Words like "after", "next", "then", "before", and "finally" are clue words to help us understand the sequence of events in a story.
In math, we had our division test, and now we are starting multiplying greater numbers. (Like 67 x 8)
In social studies, we are jumping into Native Americans, and this week we learned about the theories that scientists have come up with about how the first people came to the Americas.

Fan Boys and Coordinating Conjunctions
Homework for tonight! (Thursday, October 7)Find your "FANBOYS" Poster on this post. Take a close look at your sentences. Correct those sentences that you think might be wrong (make sure they have the formula: sentence comma conjunction sentence).
In a comment, explain which sentence you think is wrong, and how it can be corrected. Write your new sentence in the blog post as well. If you think all of your sentences are correct, write one excellent example of a compound sentence using a comma and coordinating conjunction.
