Grammar improves our writing!

All quarter long we focus on specific grammar skills. We do a lot of practice as a class, in groups, and independently. We take a formative assessment on each topic and then a summative assessment at the end of the quarter which covers all our topics.

This quarter's topics are:

Common and Proper Nouns

Collective Nouns 

(school of fish, bunch of bananas, forest of trees)

Types of Sentences 

(Statements, Commands, Questions, Exclamations)

Writing a friendly letter

(Date, Greeting, Body, Closing, Signature)

Past Tense Verbs

Here is a Past Tense Verb Sort that we did today! This quarter we learned about the four rules to remember when changing a verb to it's past tense.
