English: We journal and do a grammar warm-up
activity everyday. We will be tackling grammar basics a lot during the first
few six weeks. This is essential in order to edit our writing properly. There
will be some writing assignments in addition to the daily journaling.
Great things to
put in your writing are:
The 5
Senses (see, smell, hear, taste, touch)
Figurative Language (such as similes, onomatopoeias, alliteration,
etc.)
Organized
Ideas with your thoughts and emotions
We will work on
the following skills in this order:
Verbs (Action,
Helping, & Linking)
Subject-Verb
Agreement
Commas in a
Series
Irregular Verbs
Contractions
Spelling: Your take home spelling folder has every
list that we will work with for the entire year. We do one unit per week. On
Monday we usually pretest*, have spelling assignments on Tuesday and
Wednesdays, and test on Thursday.
*If you may a 100 on the pretest you do
not have to take the test on Thursday.
Spelligcity.com is a great place to
practice your spelling words with interactive games.
