ELA HW Packet Week of 9/30-10/4

Good morning all, 

I adapted slightly our ELA homework packet for the week to include a short paragraph related to our story and research that we will be doing this week. Students received the same instructions in class so everyone should be all set. If not, please see the following and don't be afraid to reach out. Especially for this assignment I would recommend spacing out the workload of the paragraph (a few sentences at a time) so it does not become overwhelming. 

• The packet this week includes: 
  • Spelling list and challenge words
  • Cursive practice (1 time, neat as you can be, please!) 
  • Lined paper 
    • On the front: Regular sentences- 5 sentences with 2 spelling words in each. Please skip lines between sentences.
    • On the back or you may put on a separate sheet of paper!: This week we will be writing an expository piece similar to our story Letters Home from Yosemite. These will be about our hometowns (ex: Fairhaven). We will do the research and writing in class but I want students to write a paragraph about what you already know or what you want to learn about your town. DUE WEDNESDAY 10/2
      • 8-10 sentences. More is fine too!
      • Introduction sentence and conclusion sentence. 
      • Proper capitalization and punctuation​ please.
