Ms. Reid

This week we will continue looking at irony through some of the works of O’Henry. We will read The Gift of the Magi this week. We will also work with using context clues within a passage in order to determine the meaning of words without having to look up every word that we don’t know.
We will also continue to work with the capitalization and punctuation rules and review what we have already studied on transitive verbs and direct objects.
If your son/daughter is still struggling with the parts of speech and classifying sentences, please encourage them to see me during lunch or recess to review. We will only continue to add to the concepts we have already studied, and it will get harder for them to make passing grades.
