Dear Families,
Students
in room 21 have been researching an important person in history. They have read about “their” person and made
some notes on a graphic organizer. From
the organizer, they have written at least three paragraphs. These paragraphs have topics such as; major
achievements, early life, and challenges.
We are organizing that information, and more, into a lap book (I found
them on Pinterest!). Over the weekend I
would like you to look at their work and, with them, edit the paragraphs for spelling,
capitalization and punctuation, and complete sentences. On Monday, we can begin to put together our
mini books that will go into the lap book.
When I tell them they are going to work on their biographies –they cheer!! Let’s keep this ball rolling!
Thanks
for your support,
Valerie
