Each Monday night for homework your child is responsible for writing a paragraph. The paragraph should be about one thing they did over the weekend. I will be sending the paragraph home on Fridays so that children can get a head start on it if they would like. (This is not a have-to, it's a choice. The paragraph is due on Tuesday.) Please remember, these should not take the children more than 30 minutes. It is not necessary to write more than one copy.
This weeks' FCAs are:
Topic sentence - This sentence should be towards the beginning of their letter. It should tell the reader what the paragraph is about.
3+ specific details - Third grade writers should include 3 specific details telling about their topic. The details and the topic sentence should be about the same thing.
Capitalization and punctuation - Third grade writers should begin every sentence with a capital and end every sentence with punctuation.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments or concerns you might have,
Enjoy your weekend! :o)
