Don't forget that tomorrow is your first vocabulary quiz. I will give you a review worksheet in class. If you complete all three review puzzles tonight, you can earn 3 points of extra credit on your vocabulary quiz.
Yesterday we took our noun quiz. I'm still grading, but so far it looks like the grades are all over the board. It is important that you continue to review nouns. After we finish learning about verbs we will put the first two parts of speech together and start studying sentences.
Today we started learning all about verbs in class. We will be doing a lot of practice, but it is very important that you understand both nouns AND verbs before we move on to sentences. In addition to the worksheets we will do in class, there are some online resources you can access to practice at home. If you find you are struggling with nouns or verbs so far, I highly recommend that you do these exercises. I will add more when we move past nouns and verbs and start learning about sentences.
For extra noun practice:
Identifying Nouns
Identifying Collective Nouns
Identifying Common and Proper Nouns
Identifying Indefinite Pronouns
For extra verb practice:
Action Verbs
Linking Verbs/Forms of Be
Distinguishing Between Action Verbs and Linking Verbs
Identifying Helping Verbs
If you make it through all of these exercises and want or need more help, just let me know! I have so many resources to help you understand grammar. Remember--you already know grammar, you've spoken English your whole life! Sometimes we just need help learning how to think about how our grammar works.
