Dear Parents,
Please check your child's LA notebook for last week's homework corrections and if possible review with them to avoid repeating the same type of errors. Please do not have your child erase or redo work already corrected; just review errors so that work improves over time. We will be adding the aim to each classwork entry so you can see what we are working on each week.
Book sale ads will be sent home this week for the upcoming week-long event. Please choose ahead of time what your child wishes to buy and have the correct amount available if possible to make it easier especially for the younger ones.
Below are the vocabulary definitions for this week which are in the areas of Language Arts. Parents please be aware that your child should have fifteen definitions listed each week (five given by each teacher). If child is absent or work is incomplete, student must get these from the blog by clicking on the teacher's name and searching where the weekly homework assignment is listed. Remember that tests are given each Friday on these definitions!
*subject - who or what the sentence is about.
Eg. The little gray cat is playing.
*predicate - tells what the subject is or does.
Eg. Tom rode his new bike.
*imperative sentence - one that gives a command or makes a request. It usually ends with a period. The subject of a command is you and is usually not stated in the sentence.
Eg. Tell me about it. OR Please handle with care.
*exclamatory sentence - one that expresses strong or sudden emotion. It usually ends with an exclamation point.
Eg. We won the game!
