It's That Time Again...

... to write a paper! 

The 6th grade students are writing research papers! What a great way to prepare them for college! Here are some pictures of the students using reference books and nonfiction books to research their chosen places: 







The 5th graders are working on a personal narrative! We talked today about the importance of the narrative having...
 Voice (in first-person) +
 Dialogue +
Thesaurus Words (descriptive words- Not your everyday words) +
 Engaging the 5 senses +
 No run-on sentences & great spelling! 

a GREAT personal narrative!  


Here are the 5th graders contemplating ideas for their narrative! Mom and dad, maybe you can help your child with a good personal narrative topic? I know you probably remember many more stories than they do. 











Looking forward to reading A plus papers!
