Spelling:There will be no spelling words or test this week as we are working on the 5 rules of the final silent e in words and story retelling.

Please ensure that the homework is dated in the notebook and the work is neatly organized. There are 3 different levels of homework. Yellow, Blue and Red. Please complete the homework level that your teacher has assigned you.

All levels: Review the 5 rules of final silent e and finish filling in the chart with other examples of each of the rules.

Writing:Students will again be doing a writing assignment using their 6 Senses (including feelings). They will describe the season of fall using each of the 5 senses and also how they feel about this time of year. We have practiced this in class when they were asked to use their 5 senses plus one (Feelings) to describe events. The paragraph should be at least 5 sentences long. They can also draw one picture for each sense before writing so they have a plan as to what they want to write about.

Yellow: One sentence for each of the 6 senses. *best guess spelling*make sure you have used periods at the end of your thoughts or ideas*make sure upper and lowercase letters are used correctly

Blue: One sentence for each of the 6 senses using an interesting describing word for each sentence. *use describing words*ensure spelling is correct (Remember to GUM it! – Guess the proper spelling, Underline if not sure, Move on and keep writing. Come back when you are done to check spelling.)*make sure you have used periods at the end of your thoughts or ideas*make sure upper and lowercase letters are used correctly

Red: Write a really descriptive paragraph about autumn. * try to use strong describing words*use connecting words to join related ideas and expand your thoughts (i.e. and, or, so, because)*ensure spelling is correct*make sure you have used periods or try exclamation points at the end of your thoughts or ideas*make sure upper and lowercase letters are used correctly
