CUPS editing strategy

Good Afternoon Parents,


This is a very important post. Just a reminder about how the homework has changed--students will NO LONGER have to complete journals as part of homework. Instead of journaling, students will complete a one page worksheet. I am highly encouraging all parents to be the students of their child. I want the students to teach parents how to label answer choices and plug in answer choices. This homework should take less time than journaling. The sight word quiz will be on Friday, Nov. 20. Here are the sight words for that quiz.


1. shake/shook
2.sing/sang
3.speak/spoke
4.spring/sprang
5.steal/stole
6.rode/road
7.bear/bare
8.groan/grown
9.they're/their/there


Below is a video about CUPS. Students should be using CUPS as a testing strategy to label their answer choices and prove them either correct or incorrect. Below the video is a copy of the homework that shows students how to label correctly.
