Today we discussed transition words for Power 1s, 2s, 3s, and 4s. Their assignment is to copy the following paragraph and insert the appropriate transition words from the pink sheet (transition words) that I handed out today. They need to highlight the words that they add. Students had 15 minutes to work on this in class.

"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."
