December 10 Journal

When you are done with this journal, work in Study Island for 20 minutes. After that, I will see if we need to finish off any remaining presentations. I will hand out your rubric for you to see and we will talk about our next project.


  1. Pretend that you have been asked to create a new holiday candy. Describe the new candy using your five senses (see, hear, smell, touch, and taste).

  2. Summer may be six months away, but December is National Sign Up for Summer Camp Month. Describe the type of camp you would like o sign up for and the activities in which you would most like to participate.

If I had to make a new holiday candy It would have a chocolate flavor and the wrapper for it would be bright purple. When you open it you shake and it breaks open with sweet candy inside as well. It is a smooth candy when you touch it and it looks smooth as well.
