November

Hello!  It's been a while... LA - In grammar, we have been working on nouns - proper and common - identifying them and making them either plural or singular.  We have also been continuing with sentence structure and combining simple sentences.  This has proven to be a difficult concept, so we have been spending extra time on combining sentences. In reading, we have continued to work on main ideas, and have also introduced the concept of INFERRING or making/drawing conclusions.  We are having a lot of fun with this right now and the students are able to make inferences quite well.  We will be continuing with this concept for a few more days, and then beginning to work on cause and effect. In spelling/word work, we are continuing to work on words that have common long vowel sounds. The students have access to their activities through Spelling City online (log-in information is in the agenda).  If they have a chance to work on these from home, that will help them in the classro
