Students, give yourself a pat on the back for doing such a great job with the AFL. We finally wrapped up this morning!!

After recess, we moved onto our next Writing Trait...Sentence Fluency. We talked about how punctuation can be a powerful tool in our writing to express how we are feeling. We brainstormed how various punctuation marks change our voices and came up with the following:


We then worked in partners to read various excerpts emphasizing the punctuation and how it changed our voices. Try reading the following piece using the punctuation as clues...

A and BC. D? EF, GH and I. JK! LM...N. OP. T! UV; WX, YZ?


After recess, the Math reviews were returned and corrected. The students were reminded to take home their Math binders as their Decimal unit test is on Thursday.

The day came to an end with Phys Ed and Read Aloud.


Reminders:
The Track and Field meet is tomorrow. Please bring a lunch and a good pair of shoes.
