HOMEROOM:
Assigned week 7 of Spelling which will be due Thursday. Also watched 2 days of CNN Student News.
WRITING:
Edited our paragraphs form the Jumbled paragraph #2. We discussed transition words and each student was given 2 sheets of solid transition words. After, we broke apart a paragraph that did not have any transition words and added appropriate ones depending on their power. This will be done in powerboxes and will be due tomorrow.
The following is the paragraph:
I am for schools having fundraisers. Fundraisers help a school fund activities that they would not normally be able to afford. Our school has 2 fundraisers and they earn over $40,000. Last year we were able to spend some of that money on going to Camp Lutherhaven where we spent 2 days there learning about the wilderness and playing games. I think that fundraisers help kids give back to their school. It takes very little effort to do your part in supporting your school. Last year I raised $800 by myself by calling friends and relatives that all were more than willing to donate. I am definitely for having fundraisers in schools because it allows the students to have programs they normally wouldn’t have as well as the opportunity to give back to the school.
