Compound Sentences Quiz!

Good Evening Parents,

Below I've posted a video discussing compound sentences as well as the quiz we took today in class. Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

 

Week of September 22-25 Announcements

Good Evening Parents,

This week we will be covering a couple of different skills. We will discuss using commas in a series, apostrophes, and dialogue. I will most likely post a video sometime this week explaining each in more detail. Here are the sight words for the next two weeks. Please remember these won’t be tested until October 2^nd. This week (September 22-25) students should be journaling. I will only be checking for three entries this week.

fly	flew	forget	forgot
forgive	forgave	freeze	froze
get	got	give	gave
grow	grew	write	right
they’re	there	their

MINTS and SMALL MOMENT

Good Afternoon!

We are continuing to work on CAPITALIZATION this week, and I am sure many of you were wondering what we are doing with the "Tic Tac." I've posted a video below explaining the expectations for that project. Below the video, you will see a sample paper and a "Narrative Diamond," which is a plot map we use to make sure we are including different parts of the plot structure. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or text.

Subject-Verb Agreement

Good Afternoon parents!

This week, we are focusing on subject-verb agreement. The students already know that in order for a sentence to be complete, it must have a subject and a predicate. However, in order for the sentence to be correct, the subject and the verb need to agree. In order to teach the students subject and verb agreement, we talked about singular vs. plural nouns. Below are examples of each:

Singular             vs.              Plural

the man                                 the men
a boy                                     some boys
the student                            the students
