Expository Writing in Paragraph Form

The boys have been working very hard to learn to write in paragraphs. They each chose an animal to research, take notes on, complete an organizing web, generate a multi paragraph report, and self-edit their report. They did a GREAT job! We will continue to work on this skill to expand the number of sentences per paragraph. This first time out of the gate was really to help them learn how to identify subtopics within a larger topic that should be broken out into paragraphs.

Check out these fantastic writing pieces below!

Speak Your Mind! By Mario

Many parents give their children chores to do at home. Do you think it is fair for kids to have chores? Why or why not?

I do have chores.Thay are clearing the table, seting the table, macking my bed and I'm covnsing my mom so I can sckoop the dog poop. I'm convensing my mom becuse I want a extra 50 cents. It is fair because a child can get mony.
