Blog Your Spelling- part 2

I am so thrilled with how many of you are blogging your spelling! Keep it up!! However, I am changing this assignment. Now, I want you to write a short story or paragraph using as many of your spelling words as possible. You can write in personal narrative, imaginary narrative, or non-fiction styles. I will be looking for you to use the words correctly and show what the words means through your writing. Remember C.O.P.S.!!!

Blog your Spelling!

This blog is now closed for new comments... sorry.

Use this blog posting to type your spelling words for this week. Please double check your words to be sure they are spelled correctly!!!!!

Add On Story

For this blog, I will write the beginning of the story.  When you type your comment, you should add on to the story from where the last person left off. Each of you are adding details and events to make the story.  After everyone has added to the story, I will write the ending.  It is very important that you read all comment posts before you, to be sure the story flows and makes sense. Remember, add on to the story as it is written. Do not try to write a new story.

The Crazy Egg Day

By: Mrs. Holcomb's Class

"Beep, beep, beep," was the sound my alarm made that woke me up on that crazy, crazy day. Little did I know, as I rose from bed, that this day would bring such a great adventure.  I started normally, got dressed, and brushed my teeth. As I went to put on my shoes, I noticed under my bed was an unusual oval shaped object I had never seen before.  "It's time to go! You're going to be late," my mom yelled.
