To be completed by 4/9

No class on April 2nd, and no work that week!  Happy Spring Break!
(There WILL be work posted for 3/2/27-3/30 to turn in when we return on 4/9)

Grammar 
  • Study your grammar cards!
  • We learned about paragraphs in class.  Paragraphs have a main idea and supporting sentences.  Remember, they should go together... not be random.  Try this game to practice pointing out the sentences that don't belong!
  • Use the HAMBURGER organizer to come up with one simple paragraph about your person.  Write your sentences on the hamburger sheet.  Be sure you have a topic sentence and three supporting sentence.  End it with a conclusion sentence. Use this for your poster project (see below), and bring all of it to class in your red folder.


Poetry - 
  • Study Mr. Nobody!  :-)

Handwriting 
  • p. 89-90
  • (You have a lot of writing to do this week, and I want to see your awesome handwriting in each assignment!)


History- 
  • I assigned a figure from the American Revolution to each student.  At home, they will be researching and learning about this person.  To share what they learned, they will be doing two things:
    1. Make a poster to share with the class.  Include the NAME of the person, at least 1 picture, facts about your person, why they were important, etc.
    • Rewrite your "hamburger" paragraph neatly onto paper and include this on your poster!



Journal-
