May 11-15 Assignments

Sadly this will be our last week blogging! *sigh* The school year is drawing to a close, and I am pensive about all you have learned in History, Language art, Science and Math. I think back to the beginning of the school year and chuckle.

This week your assignments are as follow:
1. Create a top ten list of things about yourself that we don't know about you. Try to use 5-10 spelling words you have learned all year!

2. Finish the story: "Oh no! I fogot my key", said the teacher as he or she stopped suddenly...Try to use 5-10 spelling words you have learned all year!

3. Re-write one of your favorite posts or pick a prompt that you did not post, but like better than this weeks choices. Try to use 5-10 spelling words you have learned all year!

4. Write about what you want to do with your summer break. Try to use 5-10 spelling words you have learned all year!

5. Write a letter to yourself. Imagine that you can travel in time, going back to the beginning of this year. What would you tell yourself? Do you think it would change the outcome? If so how? If not, describe what "could" have happened. Try to use 5-10 spelling words you have learned all year!

You will pick TWO of the prompts and write about them. Use your time wisely, as we have limited time in the computer lab!
7 more days MAKE THEM THE BEST!!!

May 4-8 Writing assignments

Hey guys! ~waves~ I am really sad after reviewing your spelling tests! This week is a review and plan on seeing many of the words that you missed this last week!

This weeks assignments need to have at least 10 words in them! I know this is a challenge, but I am confident that you can do it. Use your spelling dictionaries and look back at your previous units!

You must pick two of the following five choices:

1. Last week we went to the Science Center on a field trip. Write about what you saw and did. What was your favorite part? What would you tell the kids that go next year to make sure and look for? Are there any exhibits that you would like to see replaced with something new? Did you visit the "extreme weather" exhibit? Lot's of vocabulary words there!!!

2. If you could perform a miracle, What miracle would you like to perform? Why did you pick that one? How would it help others?

3. Finish the story: "This is just awful", Said the Doctor as He or she took a deep breath.

4. Write a free verse about: A crackling fire. Your poem should express LOVE. *Free verse has no pattern or rhyme scheme, but expresses the poet's thoughts and feelings on the subject.*

5. Create a top 10 list of your favorite animals. Write about why they are your top ten favorites. You may include pictures, but remember that I am grading you on your written words.


I can't wait to hear some of your creations! If I haven't left you a message from last week just leave me a new comment, reminding me.
Let's make our last two weeks the best!
