Early Dismissal Homework

February 29, 2012 | Posted in: Class Updates

Good afternoon!  We worked very hard today on math patterns and on evaluating and improving short answer responses.  So, here are some fun activities for you to do this afternoon and this evening!

Write your own Cloze PARAGRAPH (not longer) with a missing word and five choices.  Send your passage to me by using our Article Submission Page.  I’ll post some of the paragraphs for everyone to solve!  Remember to put in good Cloze clues so we can find what word best fits in the blank space!  For example…

It has been a rather dull winter this year.  There have been a few cold days, but not many days have been frigid.  The weather has been pretty peaceful, and I’ve been waiting for a good snowstorm that will let me build a nice, big snowman!  ____ it’s here!

(a) Sadly, (b) Quickly, (c) Importantly, (d) Finally, (e) Later

Play this snowy division game to practice your division skills!  (How appropriate for the weather!)

I know I had you take home your Study Island usernames and passwords today, but you won’t need them.  Save the information for next time, however!  Enjoy your snowy afternoon!
