We switched gears this week and started working on some grammar review. Mostly, we talked about types and kinds of sentences. We have spent the second half of the week writing scripts for our Kinds of Sentences Short Films competition. I can't wait to see what all of our groups have come up with for their scenes. After watching the progress this week, I just know they'll be great.
Another thing that's going well is our Word of the Week program. Our word this past week was "assertive," and students are doing a great job of implementing that word into their vocabularies (especially since using it in class earns you a piece of candy). We'll have a new word starting on Tuesday. If you catch your student using one of our words at home, don't hesitate to ask them what it means. Now they should know!
I hope everyone enjoys their long weekend! Next week, we'll be studying nonfiction multimedia and newsprint texts related to the ten year anniversary of the September 11th attacks. This would be a great topic to discuss at home with your student as we are discussing it in class. Happy Weekend everyone. Enjoy your free Monday!
