Language Skills

Students took their first end of the theme graded spelling test (a longer test which covers words from all of the lists we've studied in theme one).  I was impressed by their scores!  Students who didn't test as well as they would have liked were given the chance to retake the test (and then I average the scores of the first test and the retest for a final grade).  Many students who retested did a great job studying at home and were able to significantly raise their scores - way to go!

We also spent time learning about and identifying the subject/predicates of sentences, and reviewing the grammar skills that we've covered in theme one.

Finally, Mr. Wegter and Mrs. Hartsock reviewed the writing process and the correct format for writing a friendly letter.  Students are working on typing friendly letters.
