We had a great day today. Remember some of you have conferences tomorrow. Some are Thursday. Feel free to message me if you have forgotten your time.
We did some multiplication practice today.
We also did some oral, silent, and choral reading of the same passage. I am trying to help them realize the importance of re-reading something. It helps so much. There was also some vocabulary practice and comprehension practice thrown in there.
We read a story that told a little about how Valentine's Day got started in America.
We worked on identifying nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. I told them an adjective is a describing word and answers the questions: What kind? Which one? How many? While adverbs modify a verb or another adverb, often end in "ly", and answer the questions: How? When? Where? If they were confused, I would use it in a sentence and then ask a question if it was a word that answered one. For example: The brown cow mooed loudly. What kind of cow? Brown, so it is an adjective. OR How did the cow moo? Loudly, so it is an adverb. Trust me, I had to relearn this stuff, having not seen it in years!
Tomorrow is our Valentine's Day party. Store bought items may be sent. Several had already asked.
Have a great day!
