Hello, parents!
It's a new semester, and I hope that it will be a good one for everyone! I am pretty excited about what we're doing in class this semester, and I hope your kids like it as well. We're beginning the semester by doing a grammar unit, which begins today.
This week in class, we will be learning about the major parts of speech. We won't be discussing every part of speech, but we will hit the main ones this week. Here is a brief run-down of what we will be doing in class this week:
Monday- power point over nouns and pronouns
Tuesday- power point over verbs, adjectives, and adverbs
Wednesday- short power point over prepositions, then diagramming sentences
Thursday- parts of speech basketball and electing class officers
Friday- sentence smackdown and parts pf speech quiz
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday in class will be all about simply learning the parts of speech, as well as where they go, how to find them, when they are used, and some practice finding them in sentences. Thursday, we will elect class officers first and then playing a grammar basketball game for practice. Friday, we will be taking a quiz, playing another grammar game, and then doing some work on paper with parts of speech.
As far as homework goes this week, there isn't a whole lot if it. The students will have a few worksheets later this week with diagramming sentences, and then they will be taking a quiz over parts of speech on Friday. Also, if they have a test to make up from last semester, they will be making those tests up tomorrow (Tuesday) in class.
I hope that this semester goes well for everyone, and I look forward to the things that we will be doing in class this semester. If you have any questions about anything concerning English class, feel free to call the school at 310-580-6744 or email me at kwalls@byngschools.com. Have a great week!
