Reading/Language Arts: Revise the narrative essay. Replace boring words with lively words - thesaurus, online dictionary to search for synonyms. Start by checking - Did you use adjectives to describe nouns (examples as discussed in class - proud dog, fluffy dog, fragile necklace, worn picture frame)? Also, as you describe the meaningful event about your treasured item, remember to write details that appeal to the senses.
Homeroom Reminder: Friday, February 14 will be a full day of classes for students. Valentine's Day parties will be held on this date instead of February 13. This information is also on the revised February calendar that was sent home with all students today.
Bring in your Valentine's Day cards on Friday February 14. Part of the fun is handing them out to your classmates!
