Daily Geography

I am sending these home with everyone in their take home folders today.  We started writing in complete sentences to answer these questions as a part of their grammar grade.  Since this was a new way of answering, I spent a long time checking these answers as a class. (Usually, I do this pretty quick!)  In addition, I graded the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday answers before we did Thursday and Friday so the kids could see what  kind of mistakes they were making (if any!) and fix it before we finished the rest of the week.

Most of the grammar grades were great!  However, there were quite a few that shocked me!  Especially knowing how much time we spent going over the answers together ~ I write each answer down as we go and answer questions concerning "What if I wrote this?"  I wanted to give you plenty of time to help get these corrected if needed! 

Like I said ~ most of the grades were pretty good!  But I'm going to go ahead and send all of them home so that you don't have to wonder about it! :o)  We'll be using sentences on our Geography as a part of the grammar grade for the rest of the year (as well as spelling words correctly that are copied from the map/question and proper nouns!)

Have a great weekend!
