I realize I have not been the best at posting on the class blog these past few weeks. We have been working on lots of writing strategies. Today we read a book about a snowman that sticks around all year to inspire a writing project. Many students have trouble getting their ideas on paper, so I’m working On strategies with them to make it easier. Today we did a whole class brainstorm of activities we could do with our snowman in each season.  This way, students can share their ideas with others when they go to write their text.

We will be doing some writing and art this week around this idea. 

Our dictée this week is all words that will be useful in this writing. The verb is the futur tense of ‘to do’. There were some technical difficulties with sending documents to the photocopier today, so students are not coming home with a sheet with weekly work. They can just practice the words since it is a short week. I’m posting a picture of all the 13 words they have. It is a conjugation in the future tense of ‘to go’ as well as the four seasons and the word snowman. 

Just a reminder that this week is a short week as we have a professional day on Friday.
