AM homework: Comprehension workbook, next page or section. Comprehension worksheet (If your child forgot to put it in their notebook, they can make up for it tomorrow. It's a really easy assignment). Study for spelling.

 

PM homework: Comprehension workbook, next page or section. Noun to pronoun worksheet. Study for spelling.

Even though the children had a few assignments to do today, they were mostly engaged in their journal writing (AM class). Some heavy duty proofreading was necessary to make sure that words are spelled correctly and grammatical structure is correct. They also practiced on pronouns and each child did it at their own level. Their homework is the next level up. Here are a few examples:

Group I:

Read each sentence and choose the best pronoun for the underlined word.

1.     Billy is sitting down.

a.     She

b.     He

c.      They

Group 2:

Write the best pronoun from the list to fill in the blanks. The words may be used more than once.

<he, his, she, her, those, it>

1.     __________  (Claire)is sitting down.

Group 3:

1.       Write 5 sentences using each noun(s).

2.       Re-write each sentence and replace the noun with a pronoun.
Richard, camera, chair, Dad and I, the trains, Brianna



Some are still struggling with pronouns as it does involve listening to the grammatical structure of the sentence. I will ask them by replacing the noun with either pronoun so

they can listen to it. A lot of times, they will hear if it's either correct or not.
