Hope you are as excited as I am to get started on our animal projects! Remember we are working on the paper in class but you are responsible for making a model or drawing a picture to show your new animal (due Dec. 15).
What are you thinking of as a new animal? Are you combining two animals that already exist? Is your animal completely new? Share what you plan to do by clicking on "Comment" below.

Homework Assignment-Response due by November 12
In class we have been talking about including sensory images with our writing to help our reader picture exactly what we are describing. Sensory images are written words that help us feel, taste, smell, see and hear the words from the page. Your task is to find an example from a book that you are reading that shows an example of this. In your post, write 2 example of sensory images and then explain how these and other written words help you to picture what is going on in the story.
Don't forget, you have 2 tasks: 1) Give me two examples of sensory images and 2) Explain how these words help you picture what is going on in your book.
When you are ready to post remember to select "Name/URL" from the drop down menu at the bottom of the comment screen and use your first name only to identify yourself.

Welcome to our Class Blog!
Parents and Students,
Welcome to the first ever blog by Mrs. Carter. Thanks to Mrs. Johnson, I have decided to try a blog in our class. So what exactly is a blog? Well, it is a journal that is online. It is a place where we can all share ideas and make suggestions. I hope that students as well as parents would be able to use this blog to understand more of what we are learning.
Students can respond at home, but there will also be time in class to respond during our literacy stations.
So, for our first discussion, what do you think about the idea of a class blog? Have you used one before? Was it helpful? What are some suggestions/concerns that you have about using a blog? Please share your ideas by clicking on the post above or you can click "comment" below. Parents, feel free to comment as well. Please be aware that comments must be approved by me before everyone is allowed to read them.
