How do you grammar?

Students have had great success learning vocabulary by participating in oral review of words and dialoguing about the usage of their vocabulary words before working in their Wordly Wise workbooks. Indeed, the conversation around these words has been both interesting and enlightening!

How do You Grammar?

This is my student's pet tease anytime someone mishandles a sentence.

Grammar is what class is about these days; with a touch of vocabulary. Most of the school year has been devoted to increasing vocabulary skills. Throughout the year while students discussed the meaning/meanings of a word my teacher heart was thrilled each time I heard them ask, "Is that used as an adjective or a noun?" The intertwining of grammar and vocabulary will continue with more emphasis on grammar as students find the answer to the question; How DO you grammar?

Soon my students will be going on a field trip to Half Price Bookstore. We will cover the basics of searching for a book by author and/or category and each students will pick out their own book to take home and read.
