Writing Program. Good ideas have strong supporting details. A good way to come up with strong details is to use your 5 senses.

On the back of the paper, make 5 short lists of what you smell, taste, touch, hear and see there. 6. Mathletics: Complete the entire section on Patterns. Optional Bonus Homework: (for stickers and/or prizes) Literacy: Using your picture and short lists of what you smell, taste, touch, hear and see at that place, write a 1-2 page fictional story. Remember to stay on your main topic and include good details from your 5 senses.
