Wow! The students learned so much by going to the Ellsworth American, and they had fun! They got to see all facets of how the paper is produced, they met many people including reporters, people responsible for advertisements, editors, and managers. They even met Stephen Fay, the managing editor of the paper, and Terry Carlisle the general manager! They even got to see the printing press running, and voted on the cutest dog, cat, and farret! Hancock Grammar School was the only school that participated so our 4th graders had a big job to do!
Reading: Students need to work on independent read goal. READ! READ! READ!
Writing: Students need to have the three chapters done by this Friday. Students were given a rubric.
(2 to 3 paragraphs for each chapter, 7 - 8 important details, subtitles, edited for complete sentences, capitalizations, punctuation, and organization)
Spelling: Students need to finish the third page if they are not done and study the words. I put them on the blog if you need them. (The 10 word list and the 20 word list)
