REVIEW: 

We did a brief review of Chart A. WORK ON a Chart A Visual- write out Chart A on something creative. Here are some ideas. 

NEW GRAMMAR: 

We had a great time doing a FLY BY over all the VERBS!  Our kiddos did a great job tracking all 31 grammatical verbs coming from 4 MAJOR groups. We will get to know these verbs throughout the year. 

I hope my visual, with the heart brought clarity, as a verb is the heart of every sentence. Use this pic to remember the definition - a word that asserts an action, shows a state of being, links two words together, or helps another verb.

Remember, this picture is a combination of Chart C and D. Here are my notes from today new grammar on verbs.

Types of verbs: CHART C

1. Intransitive verbs do not transfer action to anything. Ex. Jill climbs. Vi

2. Transitive verbs do transfer action to something. Ex. Jill climbs a tree. Is the action being done or transferred to something? YES! Vt

3. Linking verbs tie two words together and can be substituted with an = sign. Ex. Jill is a tree climber. Does Jill = a tree climber? YES! Vl

4. Helping verbs help another verb and form a verb phrase. Ex. Jill has climbed a tree. What is the helping verb? Vh

Attributes of verbs:

1. Person: 1^st I am. 2^nd You are. 3^rd He, she, it, and they are

2. Number: singular/plural and matches with the subject. Singular verbs usually end with s or es.

3. Voice:   active- subject performs action: I love.

passive – subject receives action: I am loved.

4. Mood:   Indicative – Makes a statement or asks a Q: Did you make your bed?

Imperative – States a command: Make up your bed.

Subjunctive – Expresses a wish or something contrary to the fact: If only your bed were made. I wish my bed were made. 

Verb Tenses:

Time

1. Present: Tells what happens now. Ex. The ball bounces on the table.

2. Past: Tells what happened before. Ex. The ball bounced.

3. Future: Tells what will happen later. Ex. The ball will bounce. What type of verb is added to create this tense? (Add will/shall to the verb.)

Form

1. Simple: It doesn't matter when the action began or ended. Ex. I run.

2. Perfect: Stresses completion of an action. Ex. I have run.

3. Progressive: Stresses an action in progress. Ex. I am running.

4. Perfect progressive: Stresses an action in progress that has reached completion. Ex. I have been running.

Verb Principal Parts: CHART D(represent the forms a verb can take) WEEK 4 FOUNDATIONS

Verbs can be written five different ways. Infinitive, Present, Past, Present Participle, Past Participle.  

Infinitive- to plus a verb used as a noun, adjective, or adverb.

Present- todays form of the verb

Past- yesterdays form of the verb

Present Participle- is a verb plus -ing used as an adjective or a verb

Past Participle- a past participle is a verb plus -ed used as an adjective or verb.

We conjugate, which means to simply list all the verb forms (case, tense, S/P, in all 3 persons)

~ Conjugating regular verbs: This is easy and follows a pattern.

~ Conjugating irregular verbs: These are tricky and need to be memorized, but thank God for Cycle 3 Memory Work. All about the Irregular Verbs!  

REMEMBER: I am showing you a BIG PICTURE of the puzzle. I do not expect you to memorize all of these details just yet. We will dive into them over the course of 24 weeks. 

DIALECTIC:

None

MATH

We jumped right into N2K! I explained the “order of operations” and why it is important. We took turns being the contender/challenger. A bout sure can go fast. .

IEW

REVIEW: WTG with KWO!! We shared our favorite KWO picture, abbreviation.

NEW GRAMMAR:

STYLE:

Dress-ups!  Our first dress up is called "-ly words" aka ADVERBS.

~ These "-ly words" aka ADVERBS tell how, when, where, or to what extent. We had fun playing charades using the list of adverbs from page 93 in the SRP. The students will add this particular type of dress up in their writings this week. 

STRUCTURE:

Step 2- Writing from a KWO

I reminded the kids of the time we reworded our KWO from the ROCKS paragraph last week. That will be the goal the next 2 weeks.

DIALECTIC:

STRUCTURE:

Together, we looked at The Lost Colony on page 20 in USHBW. We KWOed the first few sentences. 

STYLE:

With those few sentences written out, we brainstormed a few -ly words. 

TEACHERS, determine how many steps you should accomplish in the next two weeks. Id love to see everyone accomplish all three steps, but ALL I ASK is that your student does their best. 

Step 1: KWO

Step 2: Add a dress up

Step 3: Rewrite sentences
