Thirty-Third Day of School

You should find a packet of ungraded personal narrative writing work from the last 5 weeks of school being sent home. Things to look for as you review work:

• Stories with a clear beginning which tells who, where, and when
• A story which tells two or more details of a single event being told in a logical order
• Stories with closure
• Time order words (next, then)
• Black ink writing with blue revisions and red ink editing (some children may have chosen blue or red pencil)
• Punctuation at the end of sentences and personal pronoun 'I's' and proper nouns capitalized.

For Health we discussed making wise decisions. The criteria for making a wise decision :

• Is it healthful?
• Is it safe?
• Does it follow laws?
• Does it show respect for others?
• Does it follow family rules?
• Does it show good character?
