Language Skills

Spelling words for the week included words with the tricky -ough and -augh spelling patterns. We continue to learn about pronouns as our grammar focus.  Students have practiced selecting the correct pronoun to use in a sentence, as well as correcting sentences in which the wrong pronoun is used.  This week we wrapped up our research on presidents Lincoln and Washington using Encyclopedia Britanica online, and are starting to actually write our biographies using the notes we've taken.  Students are learning that it is important to take good notes, and to record their sources, or where they found their facts.
