 * TIPS of the Week**

We have been focusing on having ONE main idea in our writing. Also, making a web with the main idea in the center with 4-5 supporting details around the outside will make it easier to write. Studnets can also ask QUESTIONS about a topic to help gather information when writing. If they answer those questions in their writing their piece becomes more interesting and organized.

Using **correct punctuation** is essential in writing. It is a way to get your voice across so the reader can hear you tell your story. Always make sure to use the correct punctuation.

Don't forget all the **spelling strategies** we have learned this year. If you know you have learned how to spell something or a clue as how to spell it use your book and go back and find out how.

When the students are writing I expect them to use **capitals** and **punctuation** for all sentences. I am also getting very picky with letter formation. If they use capitals in incorrect places I will begin marking it wrong.

We have also been working on **run-on sentences**. A sentence can only have ONE thought.
