We worked on writing today. More of the students are starting to write three paragraphs now and they are doing very well. Today we wrote the class taking a field trip to anywhere in the world. They had a lot of good ideas.
Half of the students did not finish the writing so they need to finish it at home. Parents, please do not do the work for the students. I need to see the work they do by themselves so I know how their writing is and what they need help with.
Homework:
