What a great way to end August... Hot!
Language Arts:
We had a great morning in Language Arts. We started by discussing our vocabulary and listening to our weekly story on tape. This story is loaded with facts so be sure to summarize each paragraph as you read it together.(Main Idea)
In grammar we completed a page in our workbook that dealt with subjects and predicates and creating complete sentences from sentence fragments. So far the students are doing a great job with this.
During our writing time, we started a really neat "Who am I" writing piece. It was really interesting to see how "easy" it was for most of them to write freely about their own likes, fears, and dislikes.
Finally, we wrapped up our morning by reviewing the meaning of assonance and similes.
