IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

Well, in less than 4 months you will be a fourth grader!!!
(sniff sniff... My babies are growing up!)

As you have come to the end of the year, you now know the "ins and outs" of third grade. What advice would you give to the the new victims... OOPS! ... I mean students for the next school year? You must have 3 pieces of advice to share, and you must write in complete sentences. Remember your GRAMMAR and SPELLING rules! I am so excited to read what you advise!

Love,
Mrs. Waldrop

POETRY CORNER



Okay, guys! Here is your NEXT South Carolina History EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENT: You are to choose any event/person from South Carolina History and write a CINQUAIN describing that event/person. I will have an example below, along with the cinquain's sequence to help remind you how to write it. Do not forget to put your first name only at the bottom of your entry so I know who to give points to. The poem is worth SEVEN POINTS on your next South Carolina History test. Please make sure your grammar is correct. GOOD LUCK!


"Word Cinquains" have the following pattern:

Line 1 - 1 word (noun - your subject)
Line 2 - 2 words (adjectives describing your noun)
Line 3 - 3 words (verbs ending in "ing" describing your noun)
Line 4 - 4 words (a small statement how you feel about the subject)
Line 5 - 1 word (another name for your noun- SYNONYM)

Example:


Eliza
Creative, persistent
Leading, guiding, envisioning
Added color to life!
Pinckney
