Parts of Speech

We have started our Grammar Program. Students will be learning the parts of speech in class. They will most likely not have a lot of homework. They will have to memorize words and finish worksheets they didn't complete in class. Hopefully we will finish the program before Christmas break. This week we will start off with nouns and articles; then we will finish the week with pronouns and verbs.

Students can practice their skills at Grammar Gorillas. See links to the left of page.

Research/Writing Prompt

In case students forget their papers at school, I have added the documents below.

Please note that they are only writing about ONE festival now. We had to make changes to the assignments. Students already know this and made changes to their copies.
