Language Skills

Spelling words for this week were all words with an ending, and for which the "base" word would have ended with a y, but to spell the word with its ending the y had to be changed to an i (ex. candies, dryest).  We also learned about jargon, and reviewed simple and compound sentences. 

To correlate with our genre study of biographies and the upcoming holiday of Presidents day, students are researching Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.  We are working to gather facts that we'll use to write our own biographies.  This week we used BrainPop videos and books to find facts.
