Writing Journals

Hello Parents!  This week we are beginning our writing journals.  Our first assignment is to talk about our most favorite things.  As a challenge, I have asked your children to exclude the word "very" from their writings.  I have included a list of words they could use instead.  With this exercise I am hoping they find other words they can use instead of the word "very" and that they expand their vocabulary to become more successful writers.  Every week one students journal will be selected to be featured on the blog, so be sure to stay tuned in so that you can see when your child is up.  Every child will get a turn to showcase their writing skills on the blog.  I encourage you all to look over this list and perhaps see where you could cut out the word "very" from your vocabulary this week as well.  Help encourage these students to learn new words and new ways to say things!

Thanks!
