The students are amazing!  When we first started personal narratives, they would write for 10 minutes and simply stop.  Now they can write silently for over 30 minutes.

All students are writing a personal narrative about a fire drill at school.  When done, they get a student editor and then enhance their writing on a second draft.

We will begin our final personal narrative assignment with a personal narrative of their choice.

Homework:  Wordly Wise and complete first draft of Personal Narrative for Fire Drill at School.

We are beginning a new Wordly Wise packet.  The words are always discussed in class usually in one period; however, this packet seems to have some very "discuss-able" words so some periods needed an extra day.  (Pardon the homophone!)

On Thursday, we will have our reading comprehension tournament.
