Week 3 Let's Write!

Autumn is an amazing time of year in Minnesota. What are some of your favorite features of fall? Do your best to be specific and descriptive. (e.g. "Our neighbor's maple tree explodes in fiery red during autumn," is more interesting than, "I like the colorful leaves.") I look forward to reading your great ideas!

Students:

1. Please write your answer in complete sentences using correct capitalization and punctuation.
2. You may find it easier to write your ideas in a Word document and then paste them into a comment on this blog.
3. Be sure to include your first name ONLY and your homeroom number (e.g. J7) before publishing your comment.

Challenge! (This is an optional activity for students who wish to stretch their writing muscles further.) Write a poem about autumn in any style you like.

Comments must be posted no later than 8:00 A.M. Monday, October 1, to receive full credit.

So many books, so little time...

I love to read great books. Tell me about some of the great books you have discovered. What book would you recommend to me or a friend? Tell the title and a little bit about it.

Welcome to Mme Powell's class blog! It's a new school year, so let's start something new. Having been inspired by the keynote speaker at our before-school teacher meetings, I am inviting my students to participate in an exciting form of communication. This year we will discover some of the wonderful uses of blogging. I hope that soon you will even be creating your own blogs! Let's go, Normandale fourth graders!
