GET READING EVERYONE!

Our class will be doing book reviews on our blogs. A book review is your recommendation for a book-do you like it or not? Is it worth reading or not? You will need to read a book then write a little book review on it. A book review usually gives a bit of an idea of what the book is about as well as a recommendation for reading it. Don't give away the ending though! Be sure to include the full title and author's name. Most importantly make sure you choose a "good fit" book for Grade 3 or 4. So start reading now. I will give you a week to read and a week to get the review done.

New Blog Homework

Your new blog assignment will be some sort of a post on nature. Do with this want you want-just remember the main theme has to be nature. It could be wild weather, animals, personal experiences, things you know a lot about-whatever! Check out the blog because 1a already has one finished.

This post must be complete by January 28-8:00pm ( 20:00).

Skating Pictures

L. had a great time at skating-so did the rest of us. Thanks parents for all of your help!

Making Hamburger Collages

We had a great time making hamburger collages in art. Next week we will do a writing project describing these yummy burgers.

Blogging Homework

We have finished our first "blogging homework" and we're improving already with our writing. I see more use of capital letters, good punctuation and better spelling. Most of the blogs were very interesting to read. I was really entertained by some of them! Try to go on and read a few. I will give you some time during our next computer time to go on the blog and read some of your classmates' interesting blogs.

Blogging homework for this week-find out something interesting that happened in the news this week and blog about it. How will you find out something interesting about the news? Well you could try reading the paper (hint-just check out the headlines to see if it is interesting to you), ask your parents, watch the news on TV, or check the internet. Remember to put it in your own words-don't just copy don't what you have read or seen.

I will mark the blogs the same as last week- it is out of 10. You are marked on your title, capital letters, spelling, punctuation, at least five sentences and how interesting is it or how easy is it to understand.

This homework is due by Monday, January 17 by 8:00pm.

Blogging Homework

Don't forget to do your blogging homework. I am looking for at least five good sentences on a topic of your choice. Start with a title that will grab your readers' interest. When the kids in our class go on our blog, they will read the titles first to decide whose blog they will read. I am also looking for interesting sentences with capital letters, decent spelling and punctuation. I noticed 16t has a really interesting post about karate. Check it out.

By the way, I seem to be far too busy approving posts and comments to have any time to comment on your posts so everyone make sure they make at least one comment to someone else in the class.

See you Monday!
