October 12, 2010

Reminder (as if you needed it!):  No school this Thursday and Friday.  Do something fun and come back safe and sound!

1. Bell-Ringer: Finish Wonderful Words -- They are on a poster in the classroom.

2. Check Composition Books -- Also available next class time.

3.  Mini-lesson on titles:  Memorable, Distinct, Intriguing, Deliberate  -- in your composition book.
4. Ms. Dorsey shared a scary story about the students in this class.  Parents, I'm sorry if they have nightmares! : ) 

5. Computer Lab:  Especially focus on scary stories -- Due October 22.  Next computer labs: October 18, 20.
We also looked at the editing and revising pages, and typed in these three problems to check for:
1. Obvious stuff
2. For every word that you're not absolutely certain how the spell it, look it up.
3.  Capitalize titles:  first word, last word, all important words.
