Summer Fun!


I'm sure you all have many summer adventures planned! If you would like to share what you have been doing, post it here. When you do something fun, exciting, scary, interesting, unusual, embarrassing, or downright strange, craft a brief entry to tell us all about it! Read through the posts to see what your peers have been up to. Remember all the writing skills you learned in fourth grade as you recreate these experiences for us (think description, sensory details, similes, leads, closing thoughts, reflection, etc.) Try to post at least once during the summer; you are welcome to post as many times as you like though. I hope you have a fantastic summer with plenty of stories to tell!

Summer Reading Book Ads


During the summer, I challenge you to read at least ten new books! Each time you finish a book, post a brief book ad to serve as a recommendation for your peers. When it is time for you to choose a new book, read through the ads to get an idea for a new title! If you post at least ten book ads by the first day of school, you will be invited to a summer reading party in the fall. Good luck!
