Progress in English and Spelling

We are working on Unit 6 in Sitton spelling and will have assessments next Wednesday.  Please be sure students are spending a little time each evening on Word Preview words for the week, Personal Words to Study, and the 1200 word list.

Eighth graders are beginning their unit on sentence diagraming.  This a very effective method for learning all of the ways words can be used in the English language syntax.

Seventh graders are mastering the art of using apostrophes to indicate singular and plural possessive nouns.

Sixth graders are learning to recognize prepositional phrases and to distinguish between prepositions and adverbs.

Have a good weekend,
