Language Arts
and Reading (morning section): This week we finished our grammar
unit on adverbs. We reviewed what an adverb is and how to pick
them out of sentences. We also talked about how to look at an
adverb and tell whether it is in the comparative, superlative or
positive form. Finally, we ended our week talking about using
commas to set off introductory words, words that interrupt,
appositives, and direct addresses. We even had time to play a
fun adverb game- Walk the Walk Adverb Charades. Ask your child
about it, it was fun! In writing we worked to conference and
begin to type our mystery stories. We will hopefully be able to
finish typing them next week and begin to illustrate them. In
the computer lab we are finishing up our data base project and
getting ready to begin a new project where we create movies-
Mrs. King gave us a sneak peek on Tuesday. In reading we read
more out of our books and continued to discuss what is
happening. There will be a word of the day test on Friday.
Please encourage your child to study. If they are unsure of any
words they should check with Miss Camilletti before the day of
the test!
