Week 22: Grammar Fun Continued!

This was such a fun week. I tried to make instruction on parts of speech more meaningful by writing on the desks (I took the best pictures and somehow they erased...grrr) and finding nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and prepositions in context of an interesting article on volcanoes. This next week will be highly interactive. If students feel they need more practice, simply googling what we do in class will lead to lots of good resources and practice worksheets. I do have a worksheet packet I can send with them for additional practice as well.

Keep on reading! We are having the iRead shirts printed right now and are excited to welcome in students who achieved so much:)

Many thanks for the ongoing support. Please let me know if you have any questions!
