Homework for the week of 5/6:
Hello Parents,
In lieu of regular homework this week, I'd like the children to spend some time researching the topics they chose for their non-fiction writing. Since we are quickly running out of school days, I need to spend class time doing writing strategy lessons to help them write informational text. In-class research time is all over!
I would greatly appreciate any time you could spend with your child to help them find information. Maybe a trip to Boyden? Explore some websites together? Any help would be great!
Students have organized their topics into three/four subtopics. They should already have a clear idea of where they should write their notes in their notebooks. Notebooks should be going home and coming back to school each day so we can try different strategies in the strategy practice section. My goal is to start the actual writing process NEXT TUESDAY. All students should have their research completed and ready to go on that day.
If you have any questions please reach out to me. I'd be happy to answer any questions.
