Wacky Web Tales ~ Practicing Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives

Tonight for homework Team 16 will go on Power My Learning, log-in, click on the word work playlist, and then click on Wacky Web Tales. Students will each write 2 Wacky Web Tales practicing parts of speech. **Try to copy and paste both Wacky Tales in a new google document and share with me.** (Email: susan_cherwinski@wayland.k12.ma.us)

Here is an example:

A Wacky Web Tale by Ms. Cherwinski

The Beach

Hooray! Summer is finally here, and that means we can go to the beach! Today, my family is going to Wayland Beach, and I can bring a friend with me. I decide to invite my best friend Kori. I know Kori will want to go with us. She thinks going to the beach is funny!
We start our beach day by watching the sunrise, and then eating breakfast at Uncle Marco's Pancake Hut. I always get pizza flavored pancakes.
After breakfast we ran the waves, go singing for seashells, and dance a sandcastle. Then we eat the lunch we packed for the beach. It's my favorite—apple sandwiches. The only time apple sandwiches are not so silly is when you drop them in the sand.
By noon, everyone's had enough of the beach. But Wayland Beach is fun at night, too! There is a really small boardwalk. It's always crowded with people. Would you believe we saw my teacher Ms. Cherwinski there, eating a huge banana split?
There are a lot of cool shops on the boardwalk. You can get a little hermit dog, but make sure your mom and dad say it's okay! My favorite store is the jewelry store. Kori and I each buy a rope bracelet that will walk when it gets wet. Pretty red!
By 8:00, we're all ready to head home. I usually fall asleep on the ride home. I can't wait to go to Wayland Beach again.

Homework for Tonight ~ Monday, 11/5/12

Team 16 had a busy day in school today.  We ran out of time to write our homework down.

Tonight for Homework:
*Read (take notes at home if it helps you write your Friday reading letter)
*Math Study Link 2-8, page 37 (Gestation Period)- due tomorrow

I posted videos for you to preview for Wednesday's math lesson on subtraction with multidigit numbers.  Please watch tonight or tomorrow night so you can come to school on Wednesday with any questions on how to do the subtraction problems.

Reminder ~ Tomorrow is picture make-up day!

*Please share your google site with me if you get a chance (remember how you shared your reading letter with me?)  I can help you tomorrow if you don't know how.

Cozy, Comfy Friday~ Reading and Project Day tomorrow

Tomorrow, Team 16 will be having a cozy reading/ project day at school.  Ms. Devlin's class had one today which we were planning on joining them.  Due to the storm and the school closings, I had forgotten all about it.  We discussed it as a class today and decided that we do still want to have a comfortable and relaxing day reading with our friends and working on our projects.  Remember to wear comfy clothes and bring some books from home.  A big thank you to Ms. Devlin for her great idea!

We still have orchestra tomorrow so please bring your instruments if you are in band or strings.

Homework tonight:
*Math Study Link 2-7 (double-sided) ~ There are videos posted on the blog if your child is struggling with regrouping.
*Reading Letter- Fill out "hamburger" organizer first (Your topic sentence will be the story starter that you select this week and your details will be evidence from the text.) Then, type or write your reading letter.  Feel free to write more than one paragraph.  Please bring your organizer to school too.
*Please bring your Agenda book to school tomorrow!
