Hi everyone!
Hope you enjoyed the weekend, despite the snow. I’m glad to see it melting today. For the gardeners out there, my uncle used to call snow like that “a poor man’s fertilizer” and said that it actually gave extra nutrients to the soil.
I’m going to ask that you continue using the “Writing Choice Board” from last week (or any of the previous weeks) to help you find writing topics this week.
There is a new “Currents4Kids” article. Remember to contact me for your username and password for this site if you haven’t already done so. Follow the directions below:
1) Read the article titled“Homegrown Soccer Superstar”
2) When you finish reading, answer the "On-the-Lines" quiz questions. You will have 2 chances to get them right. You can see your results, and a copy is available for me to see too.
3) Next, try the "Between-the-Lines" quiz. You must reread the article to answer these questions successfully.
4) In the "Respond to This Story" section, choose ONE of the questions and answer it in the "Response" box. Place the number for the question you will answer in the box next to your answer. Use complete sentences and EXPLAIN YOUR THINKING! Why do you think the way that you do?
When you have finished typing your answer, click "Review", and I will receive your answer.
5) The "Find Out More" section provides opportunities for you to view more information about the topic through articles, pictures, and interactive programs. Look at this and see what else you can learn.
Coming soon – a “What In The World?” article and questions!
Please continue to read other materials of interest to you from whatever sources are available to you – books, magazines, newspapers, online articles, etc… The Choice Board writing assignments are available as well. You may continue to send these to me. I love reading your writing!
Have a good week and STAY SAFE!
Mrs. C.
