Week 13 - April 26, 2010

This week...

This week we will be learning about the formation of sentences and paragraphs. Within this we will learn about Subject and predicate, adjective and noun agreement and subject/verb agreement. We will also have 10 vocabulary words taken from our readings. The students will be responsible for knowing how to spell them and use them in a sentence.

Subject and predicate...

The subject of a sentence is who or what the sentence is about:
Mr. Tim likes to run everyday. --> the subject of this sentence is Mr. Tim.
He likes ice cream. --> He is the subject.
The horses run fast. --> The horses are the subject.

The predicate of a sentence is what the subject does or is:
The cows eat grass all day. --> "eat grass" is the predicate because it is what the cows do.
Mr. Tim acts like a monkey in class. --> "acts like a monkey" is the predicate.
Mr. Sean is tall. --> "tall" is the predicate because that is what Mr. Sean is.

Vocabulary...

riddle - That question is a riddle.
beautiful - The flower is beautiful.
definitely - I definitely know the answer.
forget - I forget the answer.
idea - I have an idea sir!
chase - Don't chase the cats.
fancy - That is a fancy coat you are wearing.
