It's Good for Your Health

We have been working on our first health unit on personal safety, specifically internet safety.  As was outlined in the parent letter, we are learning how to be good citizens on line and what to do should a problem arise.  Here is some information we gleaned after watching a short video.

After writing a diagnostic paragraph for me on Monday, we have been working on how to write effective paragraphs.  This skill must be mastered before we can progress into writing longer pieces.  Please check out the anchor chart on our Literacy Anchor Chart Archive page of our site in the writing area.  Here we are doing a sentence sort activity where we needed to create an effective paragraph using the topic sentence provided and another group of sentences.  We are learning which detail sentences to include (or remove) and that the concluding sentence must match the topic sentence.  Feel free to have your child(ren) practise writing paragraphs at home!
