Spelling words this week were "Frequently Misspelled Words." We talked about what makes some of these words tricky to spell. Combining sentences with similar subjects and predicates/sentences and fragments to make a better, longer sentence was our grammar skill (ex. John likes to swim. John likes to dive. Combine to make John likes to swim and dive.). We even looked at some of our own writing pieces and found places in which we could combine short sentences to make a longer sentence.
Students also began writing a personal narrative, or a true story about an experience they have had. We are working through the steps of the writing process for this writing piece. So far we have completed the prewriting (forming ideas to write about) and drafting (or sloppy copy) steps. Next up we'll edit, rewrite, and publish our stories.
Authors at work!
