Making a plan

We need to have only one or a few words in our plan. The plan has to be about the topic. It needs 3 or more ideas. When we use the plan to do our writing, we need to write 2 or more sentences about each idea. The plan helps us to remember what happened. We need to start and end our writing with a sentence about the topic.

I think I have got a lot better at writing. I can say a lot about what I did and explain it. I feel good about my writing. Sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is tricky.

Rhyming words

We are learning about rhyming words. The middle and last sound in rhyming words has to be the same. It is easy to sound out words when they are rhyming. Rhyming words almost sound the same. Only the first sound is different.  I find it easy to read and write rhyming words.
