Language Arts
This week in language arts the focus for spelling was words with prefixes. Students learned about making comparisons using comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs in grammar. In writing, students began a persuasive writing unit focusing on writing a strong thesis statement and using different sentence starters. There will be no spelling next week.
