(NEW!) MEMORIZATION:
The kids chose poems this week to begin memorizing. If you can practice the first few rhyming lines with them 3 times in a row on 3 different days, that would be wonderful! They will be working to memorize their poem for about 6 weeks.
WRITING:
- A few weeks ago an animal wrote a letter to you. Now it’s your turn to write a letter back! It can be the same animal who wrote you OR a different animal.
- Remember, letters start with "Dear Name," and end with something like "Sincerely, Name"
- Don't forget to draw a picture too!
- Use your best spelling, but don’t let it slow you down too much.
- Length: 1st-2nd grade, 3-5 sentences. 3rd grade and older, 6+ sentences.
- Parents can transcribe what the student says; please keep their words.
HANDWRITING:
- Blue, Yellow, and Orange Books: Do pages 15, 16, & 17

HIGH SCHOOL
HIGH SCHOOL CLASS HOMEWORK
- Homework: Revise something you’ve written so far. KEEP A COPY of the ORIGINAL (save it with "original" or "first" in the title)
- “True revision involves re-seeing, rethinking, and reshaping the piece...” (Erika Lindemann, A Rhetoric for Writing Teachers).
- Please type it.
- Revision is truly reworking a piece of writing with things such as : word choice (action verbs, sensory details, exploding the moment or zooming in—and out), sentence fluency (sentence length, varying sentence beginnings), organization (hooks, transitions, etc.).
- Revision is not editing.
