April 28 to May 2

The students will continue to work on their Comma Projects this week. The final project is due on Thursday.  On Friday, we will be in the computer lab for a writing activity

HW:  No homework this week.

April 21-25

I have decided to post the work for the week today as it will not change as the days go on.  The students will begin to work on a project that works on their skills with 18 comma rules.  Part of this project requires that the students cut out examples of commas in print; as a result we will need many magazines!  Students may bring in a total of 5 magazines for this activity.

HW:  Monday and Tuesday--bring in 5 magazines that can be cut up for the comma project.   Wed., Thursday and Friday--no homework.

Welcome back to school; it was great to see all of you.  Today we corrected the subject-verb agreement test  and practiced more with subject verb-agreements.  Those students who made an 80 or less will take another test tomorrow over this topic. Study you notes and the worksheet we had in class today to study.  Cut and paste this link into your browser to further practice this skill:
