Paragraph Practice Assignment: NONE
For any paragraph practice assignment: After completing TWO brainstorm webs. Type your first draft. Then, edit and revise your work. You will now have the computer’s help with some spelling, word choice (using the thesaurus) and grammar issues. However, the ideas and details will always come from you!
You DO NOT need to print out your paragraph. When your final draft is saved on your computer, access our class wiki page (from this blog) and click on student portfolios. Click on edit page, click the images icon, select browse and find your paper. Double click to upload. It should then appear on your wiki page. Save the page then test to see if it works.

Choose your spelling words from A, B or C. You need a parent to sign off on the choice you make.
Complete the definition activity on Moodle (up to 2 attempts) and Play 3 games from Spellingcity.com.

REDUCING TRASH AT BCS-TRASH FREE FRIDAYS
• Use a lunch box or reusable sack.

• Put food in reusable food and drink containers.
• If you must use a disposable plastic bag, wash it out and keep reusing it.
• Purchase your snacks in bulk size and repack into individual reusable containers.
• Pack fresh fruit since it doesn't require any additional packaging.
Disposable lunches can create between 4–8 ounces of garbage every day.
That can add up to as much as 100 pounds per year!
If you buy lunch, please buy only what you believe you can eat and try not to have any waste!!
