writing persuasively

For the second part of our year, as a school, we will be focusing on Water.  This class has a huge amount of information about Lake Winnipeg and the Lake Winnipeg Foundation.  We are trying to decide which issue is greater - the problems facing Lake Winnipeg, or the work that Free the Children does with Water.  In class we have talked about what we need to create a paper, we have prepared an outline to follow.  The students were to choose an issue that meant more to them and create an outline to follow about that issue.  Today we wrote a couple practice paragraphs.  The introduction and a transition, and the second paragraph.  The students now have to take their own ideas and come up with the first four paragraphs for their piece.  Next week, we will be working further with this.

Today we had a special guest talking about Simple Machines. We made our own catapults with popsicle sticks, clothespins, a plastic spoon and metal clips. In French we went over everything we have been learning and read Napolèon and did a quiz on the book. We also did a French game called "Spot It". In Theme we worked in groups and searched up what events happened during 1000-1800. Then we had Music and practiced our winter concert songs. We just made a timeline of what happened in the 1000-1800. Now Miss Pattie is reading "Because Of Mr. Terupt".
