Composition:
We will be writing a final paper combining the three rough drafts on Pecos Bill this week.   Please check them closely for spelling, dress-ups, complete sentences, paragraph indents, etc.  We will be using the checklist at the end of the lesson to grade the final draft.  Reminder: each vocabulary word from the current lesson that is used in the rough draft is worth 1 extra credit point each (3 points possible). Student may have the opportunity to read one of their stories for the lower grades (Damocles and the King, Little Dutch Boy, or Pecos Bill). You will be informed prior to the date so that they can bring their stories to school. 
Continue to practice proper formation of cursive letters at home. Writing on notebook paper, rather than handwriting paper is new for some students this year. Please help your student with this transition.
