Week 11 Recap & Suggested Assignments

Today was review day!  We reviewed our last 2 sentence patterns. Your hard work is paying off!  You should truly be proud of yourselves.  Let's also not forget to mention our Domestic Goddesses that played with us.  Stupendous job - (now I know you are paying attention in class! ha)  Continue to study to get those grammar basics down now and you'll breeze through the rest of the year.

We'll continue to review next week! So REALLY STUDY UP!!

Sentence: S-Vl-PN & PA, Compound, Exclamatory
EEL Model Sentence: Jesus is God and He is King! & Jesus is holy for is is alive!

~~WRITING~~

Today we learned about writing an introductory statement and final clincher for our reports.  We also practiced combining sentences using the who/which clause.

SUGGESTED ASSIGNMENTS:
***We'll be doing awards for top point earners next week.  This is the last week to earn points for this semester.  Email points earned by Thursday morning!!  We'll have a party next week and snack on yummy treats as we review & read our papers.



~~GRAMMAR~~
Review!Review! Review!  We are playing review games so you'll want to be ready.

Mastery Charts to be completed:

No New Charts this week, just continue to review & master all previous charts - 2nd/3rd year - VERB ANATOMY!!


SWEET TREAT REWARD: I challenge you to spend 15 minutes a day to review your grammar (mastery charts etc).  We'll be reviewing next week and playing review games.   A SWEET TREAT to those who spend 15 minutes a day (5 days) studying that grammar.


GRAMMAR CHALLENGE: Week 11 sentences  - 5 points


~~WRITING~~
1.  No new vocab this week; study for next week's quiz!


This week we'll be putting the finishing touches on our Wonders of Ancient Egypt reports.

You'll draft your introductory statement and final clincher and work each day revising your report.  Remember to keep that SRN handy.  Add transition words between paragraphs, eliminate as many "to be" verbs and replace with good action words.  Add quality 5 sense adjectives that APPROPRIATELY describe the nouns in your paper.

I can't wait to celebrate next week and hear those well written reports!!!
