If you have lost your Buzz Newsletter/Homework Packet and are viewing this
from home please choose a picture from home, a magazine or newsletter and write
at least 5 sentences to describe it.
Please attach your picture to your homework.
All
writing prompts need at least 5 sentences!!!!
Focus on writing clearly
and neatly. They should
begin each sentence with a capital letter and end with a punctuation
mark. Please encourage volume
(amount of writing) and stamina (time spent writing) rather than putting
a strong emphasis on spelling. Our goal is to create wonderfully creative
writers who will gain spelling skills through experience and directed
activities.
If you have any questions or
concerns please call me in the classroom.
Peace & love,
