Camp Caddo: Day 1 Greetings from the Camp Write-Along Site

For our first day of camp we celebrated National Writing Day in style! Students practiced their editing skills by making compound and complex sentences. Students learned about the importance of conjunctions, how to use them and when a comma needs to be added to the conjunction. Also as a class we learned the song, "Camp Write-Along" that was to the tune of YMCA. HOWEVER, the most important thing about today is that the students had glow sticks attached to their pencils and got to do their practice with the lights off using just the light from the glow sticks and their flashlights. :) We even had a campfire of our own to listen to and watch (via video on our smart board). It was a fun day and great way to start off the week!
