Week of Dec. 15th

HO HO HO!!!! This is our last week of class before we leave for Christmas break!!! :)

This week we will be working on summarizing stories. It is a little hard and we won't spend a lot of time on it in class. I would like for you to practice on the website below. Write your score on your contract when you are finished.

I have not posted many things on the blog this week because you will be working on your photostory. Put most of your effort into that! Working with Photostory is tons of fun, I can't wait to see them!!!!!

The last thing I want you to do this week is to leave me a comment. We need to begin practicing how to post comments. Make sure you write your name at the bottom of your comment but ONLY YOUR FIRST NAME!!! Never write your last name. :)

Last, Christmas is approaching and that means lots of fun times with your family and friends! I found the cutest website that I would like for you to visit and enjoy. These two activites are completely optional. They are meant for fun, not for a grade. I loved the "naughty or nice" activity and the "letter to Santa" so I have provided the links for you as well. If you complete the "naughty or nice" activity, let me know what you score and I will tell you what I scored!!!!!!! :)
