Language Skills

Spelling this week focused on word with the long i sound, including words with "ie" and "ight" spelling patterns.  We continue to study singular and plural nouns, and have found that there are some tricky plurals that don't follow the grammar rules (goose --> geese, child --> children).

Our writing focus has been writing a newspaper article.  It has been challenging for some students to remember not to use "I" or "we" in their article, but they are catching on to the idea that a newspaper writer does not write in first person.  Next week we'll type our articles in the lab.
