This past week, the students worked tirelessly on their “how to” posts. Most have them completed their essays and posted them on their blogs. They also were encouraged to add hyperlinks, video, and/or images to their post to enhance their writing. Overall, everyone did a great job. Next week, we will be working on creating a dialogue between animals. It is their chance to be creative. The goal is to practice their quotation, comma, and punctuation usage. Following that assignment, students will be working on their expository essays for the election process. Writing is a big part of our classroom. Please check out the students’ blogs and comment on them. It helps give them confidence and motivation to continue to work hard on their writing skills. Here are a couple of the “how to” posts.
HOW TO MAKE A PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY SANDWICH
BY: Emily T
If you want to know how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then you’re in luck. I’m teaching you this so if you’re hungry, it’s really easy to make, and it’s a very common lunch choice.
First, you need to get your ingredients. Here are your ingredients: bread, peanut butter, and jelly. You would also need supplies like a knife and a plate.
Then, you open the peanut butter, and get the jelly. Place two pieces of bread on a plate. Use the knife and get a scoop of peanut butter, and spread it evenly on one piece of bread. After that, wash the knife, and get a scoop of jelly and spread it on the other piece of bread. Last, put the two pieces of bread together, take a bite, and you’re done.
That’s how you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Next time that you’re hungry, use my advice, and make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I hope you liked it.

The next thing you need to remember, is how you are going to know where each note is. If you stick out your right hand, you have five lines. You start off with you right hand pinky, remember these words, every good boy does fine. The first letters of each word are E, G, B, D, and F are the notes that go on those lines. Now we will do the spaces on your left hand. So now take your left hand out and and touch each space between your fingers and say these letters. F,A,C, and E, which spells face. That is how you remember your notes on your left hand, now on to your right hand. Take out your right hand, point to each finger and say good boys do fine always.
