Welcome to Thursday,
Tonight's homework is as usual...read 20 pages from what should be an AR Horror book. Horror is the genre we are working on with an emphasis on Theme. The kids will have a book report due next Friday March 4, 2011. the book report will be in the form of a tombstone!!! How cool is that?
Tomorrow we will also focus on our last portion of our weekly DOL; we will read the letter the friend we sit next to wrote to us, and write a return letter; we will go over our map of China; and finally we should have time to start into the chapter dealing with China! It's going to be busy, but we are up to the task! if anyone has a suggestion as to what our next genre should be...we are all ears!!!
Seeya,
Mr. Walsh

February 22:
Hey,
Welcome to Tuesday. Here's what we have going on today: The kids were given their weekly DOL sheet. They should do a minimum of one every evening. Students were also given an assignment dealing with Apostrophe usage. We always collect the DOL sheets on Friday, but the Apostrophe assignment will be due on Wednesday the 23rd. For the remainder of the week, we will be focusing on punctuation: quotations, semi-colons, colons, and proper end punctuation.
The kids also have a map of China along with a Chapter Packet. The packet is due Friday! Any information or knowledge you can pass along, we will gladly accept to add additional information during our classroom discussions. Talking to the kids about your perspectives on international, national, and local events is always a good thing. So much of what they need doesn't come from textbooks, but from those they love and respect.
Today we also started new genre in our Reading class....HORROR!!! The kids will be creating tombstones for their book report, as a creative way of focusing on Theme. This will be due on March 4th. Thanks for checking into our world. Remember...the kids need to read a minimum of 20 pages a night..

Hey everyone! Trying to keep up with what is going on in room 20? Well just check on into Walsh's World. This is new to me, but I know parents sometimes have questions about assignments or projects. I hope this will help you to stay informed. My best intention is to keep this current, so keep checking back.
