Writing

Writing:  We have been learning a lot about predicate expanders.  These tell more information about the predicate in a sentence.  A predicate tells the action of the subject.  Predicate expanders tell the when, why, where, and how of the predicate.  We have worked on mobility and moving them around in a sentence to make it more clear.  If a predicate expander is placed at the beginning of a sentence, it needs a comma after it.  We have also talked about sibstitute namers.  These rename a subject.  Example: Mrs. Freiberg = She OR desk = it.  However, we know that a substitute namer cannot be used unless the actual name has been used first.  Most importantly, all sentences needs a capitol letter at the beginning and stop sign at the end!!



Handwriting: Students need to make sure they are traveling on the line after letters and words.  They need to make sure all their letters are the same height.  They need to make sure they have correct spacing of letters and words.
