Language Skills

This week's spelling list included words with consonant clusters (thr-, spr-, str-) and unexpected spellings (wr-, kn-, -tch).  Grammar lessons reviewed using specific nouns when writing, changing singular nouns into plural nouns, and how to use key words from a question to write a complete answer.  Student applied this skill by writing their own questions (for a classmate to answer), and then by answering someone else's questions using complete sentences.  They did a great job typing both their questions and answers in the computer lab.  We kept the author of the questions, as well as who answered the questions a secret (Mrs. H knows who wrote what) and next week students are excited to read the answers to their questions together and to try to guess who answered each student's questions.
