writing a good paragraph by using strategies to
improve their writing by editing their work for
proper capitalization, language use, punctuation
and spelling. We will continue to write an

We will also begin an opinion paragraph about
the Boston Massacre. Words their Way will
continue to be our program for improving
spelling and learning about spelling patterns.
