    1. Great job, Elizabeth! Thank you for changing the setting to capitalize your name. Please make the following edits:
      1. In your first sentence, "Tonight..." please put a period ( . ) after the name of the author.
      2. When you write numbers less than ten within text you need to spell them instead of just typing the number. For example, "Flash is one and Buddy is two...." also you need to add "years old" so it is clear to your reader that you are not talking about size, shape, etc."
      3. "Flash is 1 and Buddy is 2 they love to hangout together." is actually two sentences. Can you figure out where to put a period?
      4. Please remove your name from the end of the paragraph.

    2. Write an interesting paragraph to share what you think your character would do if they had a "snow day" and didn't have to go to school or work.

    Katniss and her friends would do a lot of stuff in the snow. They would make a snowman and Also have snowball fights. One of the best things to do is to slide down a hill with sled’s that go fast. I want to do all those things but Katniss really Can't because in the book they had schedules and they would be punished if they came late. They would still be able to sneak out and play in the snow.

    1. Great job! Please make the following edits:
      1. The word "jay" in the title of your book should be capitalized.
      2. The word "Also" in your 2nd sentence should NOT be capitalized.
      3. The word "Can't" in your 4th sentence should NOT be capitalized.
      4. I understand why you copy and paste the directions, but please delete them before publishing.

    1. Please make the following corrections:
      1. In the sentence beginning, "Today I read..." put a period after the last name of your author.
      2. You have no ending punctuation for the number of pages you read.
      3. You did not capitalize the name of the person in your first sentence.
      3. You need edit your work to make it a paragraph.
      TOPIC sentence (Remember to indent your paragraph.)
      + 2-3 DETAIL sentences
      + WRAP UP (conclusion) sentence

      Note: Do not begin a sentence with the word "And."
      Every sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a stop.

    1. Jack, please make the following corrections:
      1. Capitalization errors: Title of book and author's name.
      2. I read page 15 through pages. <<< This does not make sense? What
      was the page number of the last page you read?
      3. The sentences you wrote to answer the question do not make sense,
      which makes me think you did not use Read & Write Gold to listen to
      what you wrote before you published it.
      3. You need edit your work to make it a paragraph.

  8. Tonight I read The Dagger Quick written by Brian Eames. I read page 1 through page 23. Kitto saw it snowing outside, so he did not have to go to school. Instead, he went to go play in the snow with his friends. He and his friends were happy to finally have snow. They threw snow balls at each other and adults, then ran and hid so the adults were confused. Exhausted and cold, Kitto and his friends went inside to have some hot chocolate. It was an awesome snow day!

  9. Tonight I read Magic Tree House Tonight on the Titanic written by Mary Pope Osborne. I read page 1 through page 14. I think Jack would enjoy the snow day because he would not have to go to school. He would play in the snow with Annie. They would make snow angels, snow man and have a snowball fight. They could go in the magic treehouse and take a trip to the North Pole. They would go on a mission for Morgan. They will have a great time in the snow on their snow day.

  10. Tonight I read Julia Child written by Geoff and Carlene.
    I read page 16 through page 25.
    If where she lived was snowy and she did not have to go to work, Julia would play in the snow. She would enjoy making snow balls. She would probably make a homemade cup of hot chocolate when she came inside.

    1. The name of your author is not properly capitalized. You do not need a comma before the word "because.
      You still did not write a paragraph --you wrote two sentences.

      Try starting with this.
      Topic Sentence:
      Katniss would not be happy if she had a snow day because she lives in a house with no heating.
      Add three detail sentences:
      1.
      2.
      3.
      Conclusion:
      I'm worried Katniss would freeze to death in a blizzard.

  14. Tonight I read deadly waters written by Alane Ferguson, I read page 115 through page 151.
    The book I liked the best was the first book I read which was Artemis fowl. The mania reason I liked it was because it made me think and wonder. The book was a cliffhanger because you never knew what was going to happen next. I like reading books like that because they leave you with a mystery.

  16. Tonight I read Popcorn days and buttermilk nights written by Gary Paulsen I read page 1 through page 16.
    In my book today I read about Carley. A kid who had gotten in trouble and was sent to his uncle's farm in Minnesota. For the summer he gets off the bus and is looking for his uncle who is supposed to pick him up. When he is waiting for his uncle he goes to the blacksmith who is making horse shoes. The weird thing about the blacksmith is that the blacksmith knows who Carley is and Carley. Doesn't know who the blacksmith is until the blacksmith tells Carley that he's Carley's uncle so after a day of helping uncle David in the blacksmith shop. They finally head home to David's farm.
