__Feedback for Homework:__ Please use pencils only to record your work. Coloured pencils for pictures. Spelling/Language - good effort on this work. I really like to read quality sentences or meanings where I can clearly see that you understand the meaning of your spelling words. Use a dictionary or online resource to get your meanings. A 'half tick' meant that you didn't explain the word well enough. Presentation - It is a good idea to do a draft copy first, get it checked by an adult and then publish it. Your neatest writing, accurate spelling and punctuation and set your work out clearly - miss lines. I would hope to see a better effort in presentation. I know that you can do it. :) COLOUR __PENCILS__ ONLY for pictures and borders  Current Events - we have completed an example in class. If you are gluing in pictures or articles please cut and glue carefully. I love to see your opinion of your news.  Reading Log - at the back of your book. Just record 1 or 2 books etc each week. I am looking to see what you are reading - variety is good :) Sometimes fiction, sometimes non fiction, novels, picture books, comics. Take pride in your work and make it your best effort. :)
