REVIEW: 

P.O.S.

The kids came in and wrote out the NOUN chart. We plugged in some noun usages into sentences. Then we ended with talking about the importance of pronouns.

SENTENCE STRUCTURE

Cx: has an independent clause and a subordinate clause. 

We reviewed this chart again to get in our minds what is what. 

PURPOSE: 

Declarative: What do we know about the Declarative purpose?

1. Declarative = makes a statement or declares something

3. Period at the end of the sentence. 

NEW GRAMMAR: 

  PATTERN: S-Vt-DO-OCN and S-Vt-DO-OCA

Before I could share the LAST two new patterns, we looked back a bit to truly understand nouns and adjectives and their influence on our sentences. Isn't it great that we can build on our knowledge?

DIALECTIC: We devoted our time to build a S-Vt-DO-OCN sentence. It was hard for some of us, because these verbs can be hard to work with, ESPECIALLY if you are RENAMING! AGH! We will enjoy doing this activity with OCAs, no doubt! 

I rolled out TWO opportunities to identify and diagram a few extra sentences. Really, I wanted to give our dialecticians and rhetoricians a challenge. 

  

MATH

We enjoyed a fantastic new game called GRID. A grid was made up on the board and the kiddos had to work together to fill it up! The kiddos did GREAT!!

We learned a lot of good lessons here. We will tweak this game and try it again next week. 

IEW

REVIEW: We took time to listen to each other’s paper and play a quick vocabulary game. 

NEW GRAMMAR: UNIT 7

INVENTIVE WRITING- next 3 weeks

Inventive- (something you have come up with) Inventory- stock of stuff you have. Inventio- discover CANONS of RHETORIC (gather ideas)

This is a TWO week project. Week 1 we will think of topics and bring them to a paragraph, THEN we will add an intro and conclusion during Week 2.

There are 4 steps this week.
