State Paragraph Homework and Slurpees?
Your child researched one of the 50 states. They had to find the state’s capital, flower, tree and bird, as well as a fact that your child chose. Their next homework assignment is to take those facts that they learned to write an informational paragraph. The paragraph needs to include a topic sentence, a sentence for each fact your child discovered and a closing sentence. This writing piece needs to include two pictures of the state symbols (these can be student drawn or printed out from your computer) in their final piece with a caption to describe it. You can use the attached sheet to have your child write it, or you can type it on the computer-whatever your child prefers. Please have the completed paragraph turned in by Monday, March 14th. Thanks so much.
Here is a link for the directions with rubric.
Here is the link for the final copy.
**Also, if anyone is interested in helping with the pick up of Slurpees next Friday, please let me know. If I don't get any help, we will be walking over to 7-11 to pick up our Slurpees. Thanks for your help!
