You were fantastic!
Throughout December, we're studying clauses and sentences. You may be thinking Santa Claus, but I'm thinking about dependent and independent clauses. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence because it has a subject and a predicate. A dependent clause is a group of words that cannot stand alone. This group of words modifies or gives additional information about the independent clause. We'll also work at identifying sentences from fragments and run-ons. A fragment is just part of a sentence. A sentence has a subject, predicate , and end mark. A run-on has two or more independent clauses that have not been joined properly. In addition, we'll also study the different types of sentences: Simple Sentence = subject + predicate (independent clause) Compound Sentence = independent clause + independent clause (joined using a comma and conjunction) Complex Sentence = dependent clause + independent clause. Compound-Complex Sentence = two independent clauses + dependent clause Below, you'll find tutorial videos. After viewing, try the sentence or fragment quiz or the types of sentences quiz. Dear Parents, On Friday, December 21, each 4th grade class is going to have a Book Exchange to celebrate the joy of reading. If your child would like to participate, please do the following...
This is an optional activity. If you have any questions, please let me know. Happy Holidays, Meg Martinez Students have a word study assessment this Wednesday. The test will cover all word parts learned since the beginning of the year. Students have a study guide to use to prepare, and we have practiced each day in class. In lieu of cursive practice, students were assigned to study at home.
Additionally, "More Adverbs", a worksheet practice, was given on Monday and is due on Thursday. Lastly, Mrs. McCarroll's last day with us is this Friday. If your child would like to write a note or card, please send it in by Thursday. |
