Student Challenge
 Each month’s newsletter will feature a section called “Student
 Challenge!” In this section, I will propose a challenge for the
 students to complete. They will have at least one week to
 submit their answers to me. If they correctly complete the
 challenge, their names will be added to our Student Challenge
 bulletin board. For each challenge that they complete, a star
 will be added next to their names!

 This week’s challenge: Complete the ABC boxes worksheet
 that was passed out during class. Think of really juicy
 describing words that each begin with a different letter of the
 alphabet. Write at least one word in each box. You can write
 down words that you read in a book, hear in a conversation,
 or look up in a dictionary. Make sure that you know what the
 words mean! Try to write down words that you think will be
 different from your classmates’ words. Be creative! After
 finding your words, use each word correctly in a sentence on
 the back of the paper. An example has been done for you
 using the letter Z.

 Turn in your ABC boxes and sentences by next Friday.

  • 6. PAGE 6 OF 6 Student Challenge Each month’s newsletter will feature a section called “Student Challenge!” In this section, I will propose a challenge for the students to complete. They will have at least one week to submit their answers to me. If they correctly complete the challenge, their names will be added to our Student Challenge bulletin board. For each challenge that they complete, a star will be added next to their names! This week’s challenge: Complete the ABC boxes worksheet that was passed out during class. Think of really juicy describing words that each begin with a different letter of the alphabet. Write at least one word in each box. You can write down words that you read in a book, hear in a conversation, or look up in a dictionary. Make sure that you know what the words mean! Try to write down words that you think will be different from your classmates’ words. Be creative! After finding your words, use each word correctly in a sentence on the back of the paper. An example has been done for you using the letter Z. Turn in your ABC boxes and sentences by next Friday.
