Writing (Imaginative Arts Week)

 Writing

1. Finish reading "The Bronze Bow."

2. Write this passage from the book.

    A quick guttural sound burst from the soldier. Daniel looked away. Who could believe that a Roman—?

    “I think she would want to say good-bye to you,” he said.

    The soldier waited, not understanding. Daniel looked down the road and caught the white flash of Jesus’ robe. Then he straightened his shoulders.

    “Will you come in to our house?” he asked.

(Chapter 24, page 254) 

3. Write in your handwriting books.  I didn't get a chance to look at them because I was gone, but remember you can earn $$$ for finishing your handwriting books.  This is the last chance!  Bring them to class.

4. Write a letter to a friend or someone that would appreciate getting a letter.  It should have all of these things.

• Hand written.  
• 3-5 paragraphs, like an essay.  
• It can be about anything you want.  
• Put it in an envelope.
• Address it, stamp it, take a picture of it, (so I can see that you did it) and then put it in the mail.

I was surprised to learn that one of my older children did not know how to send a letter in the mail.  I know it's almost old fashioned, but it's a skill you should know.  The return address is your address.  The address is the person to whom you are sending it.

Ideas of people you could send a letter to that would really appreciate it.

Parents

5. Study your spelling words!  We will do the words for "The Bronze Bow", and if time allows, we will continue with all the past spelling words from all the books we have read this year.)

IT'S BEEN A GREAT YEAR!
