Tuesday: WB p. 6-7

Grammar: WB p. 9-10. Learn the prepositions on WB p. 11. Learn the Preposition Song: “Yankee Doodle” tune

They have sheets with both the websites and the corresponding lyrics.
If they learn this song, they’ll know every preposition on p. 11’s list except “out” plus some more prepositions. This helped my students last year a whole lot! In a couple of weeks, I’ll give a quiz with sentences where they’ll pick out the prepositions. This base knowledge will help them with all the other parts of speech, so it’s IMPORTANT!
Writing: Write a paragraph about something that annoys you; use details that fully show why this is so bothersome.
**Have parent fill out the contact info. I sent home and scan the barcode to add me on Groupme in each child's current grade. (I accidentally cut out a sentence in the handout that explained this.)
