Homework

5/6
Sentence Labeling (English)--- Questions one and two should be DONE. We went through these problems on the board together. Questions 3-10 should have smiley faces by them. If they have smiley faces by them, it means I checked their answers and they are correct. If there is NOT a smiley face by the problem, the answer was either wrong or they didn't have me check it. Problems 11-20 were assigned for homework.

**** This is in preparation their upcoming test in the next two weeks. We have learned everything that is on the worksheet. I have a guide posted next to the list of things they need to label. Everything in the sentence should be labeled---except "please". Their notes would be a fantastic place for them to look for help. If notes are not available, their book also works. It is more of a hassle to dig through the book. They are able to use NOTES on the test but not their book. Keep in mind this is a unit on adjectives and adverbs. The sentence labeling focuses heavily on these two items.

There is no literature.

We finished the spelling book this week. Make sure spelling books are cleaned out (erased) and returned on Monday. We will STILL have Writer's Choice.
