Homework 5/17

Sorry about the delay......I thought I put the homework up, but I hadn't.....it is a bit different this week, and it is OUR LAST WEEK FOR HOMEWORK!!!!

This week, we have learned about 3 kinds of bridges…..beam, arch, and suspension.

Draw an example of each kind of bridge……your illustration should be fairly large, all 3 bridges should fill your journal page.  Using your spelling words, label the parts of the bridges!

Write a sentence (or 2)  as a caption for each bridge.  What do you think your readers should know about each bridge.

Take your time on this…..only do one bridge at a time….however, divide your journal pages into 3rds before you start.  Plan out the entire the page.

Spelling
