Words of Encouragement

“He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” Mark 16:15

(See how God has given us imperative sentences? Ten Commandments, Armor of God)

Latin Word of the Day- interjectus (thrown between)

REVIEW: 

We play Musical Charts and were able to add 1 bead to our jar. YAY! I will have the leftover charts ready in the lunchroom. If we fill them out, we can add more beads! 

NEW GRAMMAR: Here are the new concepts we covered today. 

SENTENCE STRUCTURE

A Simple sentence consists of one independent clause and expresses a complete thought.

PURPOSE

Imperative

~ An imperative sentence expresses a command or request and ends with a period or exclamation mark.

~ It is created by dropping the subject and replacing it with an unspoken (implied or understood) You.

~ We played "Bossy Simon Says" where everyone obeyed the commands of imperative sentences ONLY. It was fun!

PATTERN

We played with a few S-Vi sentences. 

P.O.S- Interjections 

~ Definition: a word or phrase used as a strong expression of feeling or emotion.

1. Some interjections are words that are only used as interjections. Wow! Hurrah!

2. Groups of words can be used as an interjection. (Phrasal) Oh my goodness! Oh boy!

~ Punctuation: Use an exclamation mark, comma, or period.
3. These words or phrases are diagrammed on their own line above any following clauses. 

DIALECTIC

We put these above three combinations together to write out a sentence. 

#1:  Dictate sentence.

#2:  Check Mechanics.

#3:  Question confirmation
#4: Diagram

MATH

You ALL have done an AMAZING job the last three weeks learning about N2K. I felt like we needed to go back and work on BASIC OPERATIONS using three numbers. We worked together to knock out an entire board! Here is what we have left over! Anyone want to knock out the remainder?

REVIEW: 

We took the time to look over everyone’s most decorated sentence. It was simple and sweet. WAY TO GO GIRLS!

STYLE:

• We reviewed: "What is meant by Style?" Expressing one's thoughts beautifully and memorably, so that people will listen. "What stylistic techniques (dress-up) have we learned so far?" "ly" word (adverb), who/which clause, good title.

I was able to share THREE NEW STYLISTIC TECHNIQUES

1.  ALLITERATIONS

• 2 or more words put together that begin with the same sound. Our ears like the repetition of this.
• We thought of alliterations for our names. 

• Tongue twisters are fun, but these aren’t really what we want in our paper.

2. SIMILE
Simile is a way to describe two unlike things using the words like or as. We had fun with this describing MOM. JHere is the photo of the end result.

3. STRONG VERBS create a detailed image in your sentence. We have decided we will ban all weak verbs:

Go/went, come/came, say/said, get/got, see/look

But have no fear, we have a beautiful list of strong verbs in the Student Resource Packet.  

STRUCTURE:

We reviewed Structure: "What is meant by Structure?" The arrangement of one's thoughts into an effective order to accomplish the desired purpose.

"What structures have we learned so far?" 1. KWO 2. Sentences 3. And now onto a new structure-->Story Sequence.

We talked about analyzing literature and how helpful it is.

We read the Boston Tea Party. Together we recounted a small portion of the story sequence. This time afforded your student with a general outline. They will take this outline home and build on it according to your expectations. 

ONE ROOM SCHOOL HOUSE: Choose your student's work load level.
