Language Skills

Our spelling words this week all had short vowel sounds (short a, i, and e).  We took the spelling pre test, and worked on the words via practice book pages in class, and using the Spelling City website on the ipads (your child can use the website at home too - check out the link under our websites tab).  We will take the post test over these words (and the remaining lists in this theme) at the end of our unit.

We also reviewed what makes a sentence.  Sentences need to be a complete thought, including a who/what, and an action (what they did).  Sentences should also always begin with a capital letter, and end with an end mark.  Students practiced identifying sentences, as well as changing fragments into sentences.

(Our Language time was cut very short this week due to early outs) :)
