Sentence Diagrams.

In Language Arts today we continued our work in grammar, and explored the importance of context when looking at parts of speech.

During our thirty minute Silent Sustained Reading period eleven of our students went down to the Temescal Creek classroom, and were reading buddies for the second graders in that class.

Most of the students were given copies of their new Literature novel, Maniac Magee.


Homework: Language Arts. Due Tuesday, October 18th. Write out the sentence;

_____________ Aden always fences with Carter's old foil.


then rewrite the sentence, putting a time changer in the blank space in order to find the verb, and then diagram the sentence with labels and arrows.

Literature. Due Friday, October 22nd; please try to read up to the end of chapter nine in Maniac Magee. If this is too much for you to read in four days please come to me and let me know. Come to class ready to discuss what you have read.
