Gym and Paragraphs

Last week in gym we learned how to play a new team building game called "Alaskan Baseball".  The students seemed to really love this game since it is an all-inclusive game that requires no special skill but lots of active participation.  Ask you child about it.

Here is a paragraph with the prewriting steps that the whole class wrote collaboratively last week after explicit instruction on the topic.  We have reviewed revising (blue) and editing (green) as well.  The students have been working independently to write their own.  Remind them to use the success criteria that we created together to ensure their best work.  Ask your child about it.
