Language Arts Third Quarter

Sixth and Seventh grades have been amazing this quarter

in their ability to comprehend correct usage in English, and

they know how to first identify the Verb and Subject when

given any question to solve in English.

Memorizing rules in both English and Spanish has been a

benefit for all.

Sixth graders are studying adjectives and verbs this quarter.

Seventh grade is working diligently to comprehend that

they no longer may guess correct usage of verbs simply by

how the word sounds in a sentence.

We will finish Subject /Verb agreement and move on to Adverbs

and Prepositions during this period.

Spelling in both grades becomes more challenging as we

progress . A word of caution-- study the night before a test

is not enough work,instead, daily study of the new words is

vital for comprehension .

When writing answers for spelling exercises,using the

glossary and taking time to follow directions will help the

students be successful.
