Homework Alert


Students have a worksheet to do for homework tonight on Subjects and Predicates.
Please see below for visual on subject and predicate, there is also a little blurb at the top of the sheet. We completed some in class today. This is extra practice so we can move onto something else tomorrow!

This is work that will help us build sentences, complete sentences!! Seeing you all heard my blurb on why we need to have complete sentences! Please check out the video below if you are unclear on sentence fragments and subject & predicate (verb),


Punctuation



Language Review:

Subject: who or what the sentence is about
Predicate:  tells about that subject
Adjectivea word naming an attribute of a noun, such as sweetred, or loud.
Noun: a word used to identify a person, place, or thing
Verb: an action word: jumping, running, writing.



Complete Sentences

We are learning how to make our writing stronger. One of the things we need to work on is having COMPLETE sentences!

We need a subject (what the sentence is about) and a verb (action word). A sentence also needs to have a complete thought, meaning that you are able to understand from the sentence, without asking what is missing. We know who the sentence is about, and what is happening!
Examples:
The students are playing tag on the playground.
Mrs. Jessie is going to the library after school.
The grey kitten eats a furry mouse.
The fireworks explode loudly in the night sky.


Now, you are going to use your new found knowledge to identify sentence fragments and add the foldable into your Daily 5 Books. Make sure to colour it up nicely!
