WEEK OF: April 29th - May 3rd, 2013

*Reading – We have started our new story “Suki’s Kimono”.  Our main character Suki  is so enchanted with the kimono and wooden shoes that her grandmother gave her this summer that she insists on wearing them to her first day of first grade. Her older sisters are embarrassed. At first it looks like it might be a disaster! There are quite a few snickers. But Suki is so sure of how wonderful she looks that she soon wins over her new friend, new teacher, and new class. You can listen to our story at the following link - http://pesfroghall.org/Sukis%20Kimono.mp3

 
*In Grammar we are working on Adjectives.

Adjectives and Articles

An adjective is a word that can describe a person, place, or thing. Adjectives

can tell more about nouns. An adjective can tell how a person, place,

or thing looks or sounds. Often an adjective comes just before the noun

A, an, and the are words called articles. Use a before singular nouns

beginning with a consonant. Use an before singular nouns beginning

with a vowel. The can be used before a singular or plural noun.
