* In Grammar, we are working on Subject / Verb Agreement.  Our test will be Wed. 2/6/13

The subject and verb in a sentence must work together, or agree. To

make most present tense verbs agree with singular subjects, add -s. If the

subject is a plural noun or pronoun, the present tense verb does not end in -s.

 

* In Reading, our new story “Night Letters” is a realistic fiction story.  The main character Lily enjoys the creatures in her backyard.  She feels they are talking to her in a secret code and she writes what she observes in her daily journal.  We will focus on Drawing Conclusion in this story. A conclusion is a decision you reach after thinking about facts and details you know. You can use what you have learned in the story and what you already knew before you began to read.  You can listen to the story at the following link: http://pesfroghall.org/night%20letters.mp3
