* In Grammar, we are working on Main Verbs and Helping Verbs – Test on Thurs. 1/24/13  Main verbs show the action in the sentences. Helping verbs can show the time of the action.

Have, has, had, will, is, am, are, was, and were can be helping verbs.

A verb phrase uses a main verb and a helping verb together.

                                                         We were running.                                  

They are climbing.

The dogs have barked before.

 

* In Reading, we are reading story “Pushing Up the Sky” .  This is a play that is a myth.  A myth is an old story that tries to explain something about nature.  In our story, the Snohomish are an Indian tribe and believe the sky is too close. They all got together to come up with a plan to push up the sky.  We will focus on Author’s purpose and Compound words this week.  The author’s purpose is the reason an author writes something. An author may write to persuade, to inform, to entertain, or to express ideas and feelings. You can listen to our story by clicking on the link below: http://pesfroghall.org/pushing%20up%20the%20sky.mp3
