Every so often, i will pose a question on the blog that encourages all of you to both reflect on your learning and also certain events that are going on in the classroom. You are invited to add comments as normal. In addition, you are also encouraged to respond directly to the comments other students add to the blog.Warning: When adding comments or responding to comments, use CIVILITY at all times! Never write anything on the blog or about a student that you would not say directly to an adult's face. Likewise, when responding to people's comments, focus on the positive by 'validating others'.
Discussion Question 1
What important lessons have you learned from the most recent 'Sentence Fluency' grammar assignment?
I learned to read my notes more carefully on an open-book test!
ReplyDeleteCaroline Mackey
I had a lot of fun this week!
i learned about the same thing and i learned to make sure i have all notes written down
ReplyDeleteabigail
do we need to type up our final copy of the place you know well?
ReplyDeleteabigiail
I learned to read the directions really carefully.
ReplyDeleteI already have 14 prepositions, so I don't know how many more prepositions to put.
-Forrester
Do you need a comma in a sentence that has a prepostional phrase. If you do why and and if you don't why?????????
ReplyDelete-Sarah Neely
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteIf the prep. phrase is at the beggining of the sentnence, yes. If it is at the end of the sentence, no because then it could turn into a complex sentence.
Isn't there going to be a prep. phrase thing for the blog?
-Forrester
I learned to keep reviewing notes and and pay attention just like i'v mostly been doing.
ReplyDeleteAnd the teddy bear thing were going to do sounds really fun
CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!
-Sarah
Forrester-I think he's going to do a prep. phrase thing soon. He mentioned it in class.
ReplyDeleteAbigal- I think it says on the homework sheet that the final copy is homework on Thursday, and it is due on Friday
Hayden
Oh I learned that keeping all your notes and worksheets pays off on tests.
ReplyDeleteHayden
Forrester,
ReplyDeleteThere might be something on the blog, but i just can't find it maybe Mr. Buxton will put something on the blog and anyways thanks for the tips of Prep. phrases..... Now i'm going to get to home work but i might come back later..
-Sarah
Also Forrester,
ReplyDeleteYou only need 12 Prep. phrases so your good... I think you can put more than 12 you probably can
See ya'll
-Sarah
Would something like... BETWEEN THE AGES OF 7-10... be a prep. phrase?????
ReplyDeletebecause its got a prep. but i can't find the where, when, and how... and if it doesn't have the W.W.H. then its not a prep. phrase right?????????
-Sarah
Could next to be a prep. because next is a prep. and to is a prep. so wouldn't it be a prep??????????????
ReplyDelete-SCN
Abigail...I would if I were you. We will add to it again on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteForrester... I hope you ae counting the 'prepositional phrases' and not just the prepositions!!!
Yes.. to prep. phrases practice. It's going up now
Sarah .. it depends.. wha is the sentence? What do you think and why?
Forrester gave an excellent answer to your question Sarah. (+1 Forrester)
Sarah.. 'between the ages of 7& 10' answers the question WHEN .. so it is a prep. phrase.
Great questions and contributions guys!!! :-)
Some people have been asking about Jeopardy sheet. It s NOT for H/W tonight. You don't even have it yet!
