The students came up with many of creative prepositional phrases:  on the beach, under the umbrella, on the boat, among the people, beside the lady, and many many more.

The week of February 28th....

We will continue working with pronouns this week.  The students will get to share their "pet diaries" that they wrote last week.  I can't wait to hear what everyone wrote.  I sure hope a lot of pronouns were used!!!

We will be learning about different types of maps and also all about synonyms/antonyms.  We will also be learning about story quilts.  The students will get the opportunity to create a story quilt of their own.
The above story quilt is by Faith Ringgold and depicts her story, Tar Beach, which we will be reading in class this week.

Well now that wonderful snow day has sure gone and messed things up....

I have decided to move the Unit 1-3 grammar test to Friday.  I do not want to rush the review.  So, we will have our DOL quiz on Thursday instead of Friday.  Don't forget to do your spellingcity.com homework.  You need to complete 4 activities at spellingcity.com before Friday morning.  We will work on the grammar review packet all week to prepare for the test on Friday.  You will hand in the completed review/study guide on Friday morning before the test.  Any questions please ask!!!!!!

Unit test!!!!!!!!!!!!Oh no....now don't worry you will do fine!

This week we will be reviewing sentence structure, nouns, and verbs in preparation for our unit test on Thursday.  I will hand out a study guide on Tuesday and we will work on this as a way of preparing for the test.  It is very important that you look over the whole study guide to refresh your memory about the different grammar rules that we have learned so far this year.  I know you will do fabulous.

I sure hope everyone enjoyed the snow day.  I know I did, but now we need to get back to learning!  So, sit back and prepare for a week full of good grammar!
