ELA - Week of December 7th

Looking forward to the Christmas Program on the 10th.


This week we will label sentences in four different ways. We will finish our "Grammar Island" book and start "Practice Island".  " Practice Island " is just labeling sentences.

After Christmas, all the spelling test will be in cursive.

Spelling words for the week. Words must be written 3 times each night in cursive.This week the spelling activity is to write four words a night in "fa different style." Examples are bubble letters, dot letters, paint the words,  or make one big letter and put all four words in that letter. They can be creative. Two nights they will need to do the activity with 5 words.
