Great job on Week 4!

All you moms and kids are doing so well! Please let me know if you need clarification on any assignments or materials during the week.

If you are on Pinterest, feel free to follow my "Essentials Class" board. I post helpful tips and aids relevant to grammar, writing, and math. Here is a link:

Grammar:

-No new charts this week, so try to review any weaker ones. And of course, listen to your songs, if you can, which are basically charts in song form.

-Try to identify interjections with your kids, either in speech or books, signs, etc. (comic books have lots). Also, identify imperative sentences.

-Sample sentences for you Analytical Task Sheets begin on p. 84. Remember to walk the kids through tasks 1-4.

Writing:

-

-Refer to the checklist on p. 72 as you write your The Sword in the Stone paragraphs. They are striving to use one of each of the stylistic techniques we have learned in every paragraph. Also, trying not to use any banned words this week.

-It helps if you can put all the dress-ups, banned words, etc, on a white board or poster so you can refer to it while writing. It's also great to have all their reference lists handy (strong verbs, -ly adverbs, symbols for outlining).

See you Thursday!
