Reinventing Cinderella

Dear Grade 3's & Parents,

Today you worked on story plans using the storyline of Cinderella. You were asked to "reinvent" the story using new characters, a new setting and perhaps some new problems that relate to your main character getting what he/she wants at the end. Many of you finished during class time but I sent several home to be finished tonight.

*Please have your plans for tomorrow so we can begin writing your stories next week.

For Spelling:

If you finished the work for your 5 highlighted words last night, please work on the 5 addition and subtraction words tonight for homework. Remember write the word 5x across the line and then write an interesting sentence to show you know how it is used.

or

If you finished all the work for all 10 words last night, please have a parent test you on your words to see if you know them. If you can spell the word correctly, please have them initial beside the word in your blue book.

You have a long weekend coming up. The reason I am pushing you to do all 10 words is so that you can enjoy your break and continue studying again for spelling on Tuesday next week.

*Please do all the practice so you can be successful on your spelling tests next week. '

Library books are due tomorrow. Please have them in your backpacks tonight so you can get new reading material for the break.

See you tomorrow.

Ms. Toy
