In Language Arts today the students began learning about pronoun. We talked about three types of pronouns-personal, possessive, and indefinite. We will learn about more types of pronouns on Tuesday. Moving forward, the 6th Grade ELA teachers have decided we are no longer going to be using Moby Max and IXL for grammar. From this point forward, we are only going to be giving practice on IXL starting with pronouns. There are six practice lessons on pronouns for the students to work on at home. As always, they are expected to get 100 on each of them to receive full credit for their assignment. This will not be due until Friday, February 28th which means they have three weeks to complete the assignment.
The students also reviewed what it means to make a connection to something they are reading. We reviewed the three types of connections (text to text, text to self, and text to world) during class. This should have been a review from elementary school.
Lastly, the students spent time in class hovering words they did not know in the story, “The Good Deed”. Afterwards, the students worked with a partner to create a frayer model of one of the vocabulary words we found. The students will be presenting these in class tomorrow.
Have a great evening!
