Language Arts, September 22nd through 26th

Here's a look at what we're up to in language arts this week…

Students will continue to study the parts of speech, with a focus on adjectives and adverbs. Students will complete this review, labeling every word of every sentence, as we're paying close attention to how the individual words work together in a sentence (especially when it comes to adjectives and adverbs). Students will have a quiz on nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs on Wednesday.

Also, we'll continue to examine the Hero's Journey Archetype in the SPRINGBOARD books. Students will read and analyze a section of A WRINKLE IN TIME (one of my favorite books!), and they'll work on their own creative pieces as well.

We have conferences on Thursday and Friday this week, so it's a short week for students. Parents- You all should have received a conference form from your son or daughter at the beginning of this week. I look forward to seeing everyone at conferences!
