Diagraming Sentences


We began our day with language. Students reviewed how to diagram the subject and verb of a sentence. Things then got tricky as they diagrammed sentences containing multiple subjects, verbs, and connecting words. Ask your child to tell you how they did this.

We spent most of class our time working on science fair projects. Students worked on their display boards, typed up the various components of their work, worked on their graphs, wrote their conclusions, or cut out their sheets. We have only 2 more school days to finish up work for the science fair. Ms. S and I met with students to direct them in their next steps for the science fair. Many students chose to take their display boards home to work on them over the long weekend. Display boards should be back at school on Tuesday. Decide on photographs you want to use for the display board and bring these in to school.

Due to our giving the science fair a priority, we did not have time to work on our inquiry unit today. Students are bringing home their Please and Thank You duo-tangs in order to complete their survey about manners. Students need to interview 5 adults by Tuesday, May 20.

Students met up in their literature circle groups for their fifteenth group meeting. They used class time to read chapter 16. It is important that The Secret Garden books and reading duo-tangs be brought to school daily as we will be having daily group meetings as well as time allocated in class for reading.

Remember to bring in a bag of garden or black soil for our garden. We will be planting after the Victoria Day weekend.

Students attended French class today.
