Reminders:
Penny Warz is still going on to raise money to buy Plumpy Nut. Plumpy Nut is a product UNICEF is using to feed starving/malnourished Kids around the world.
Your Book-of-the-Month Assignment is due next week -- February 24, 25.
Students used their composition books today.
1. Punctuation Activity.
Mr. Christensen read to the students the book Punctuation Takes a Vacation.
Students did a punctuation activity.
Each student wrote (in his or her composition book) about one of the following topics, following these two rules: 1) No talking is allowed. 2) You may not use any punctuation.
Write for three minutes or more.
Topics for punctuation exercise:
BMX biking Facebook Shopping for Earrings Monster Trucks Skiing/Snowboarding Ballet Twilight book series fantasy writing hunting
If you were absent, go ahead and do this, and find someone to put in punctuation for you. Check to make sure that they punctuated it the way you meant.
2. Words By Heart Movie
Students listened to a summary of the chapters, and then watched the movie to cover up through chapter 11, comparing book and movie in their composition books.
