Tonight's H/W was going to be to 'finish' the Grammar booklet practice exercises. We will go over them in class tomorrow. It is 'suggested' that you try to spend a little time working on your State Report sometime today.
Enjoy the snow!

State Report - 3D Model / Grammar Questions
The deadline for the 3D model and paragraph is Thursday Feb 19th. ONLY bring the model to school on this day. Do not bring it to school beforehand as there is no where to store the model in the classroom. You need to make sure you read the directions carefully on the State Report Guidelines booklet on how to complete your model.
You are NOT required to do any H/W at all over the Winter Break, so do not leave this model until the last minute.
Grammar- Are youy prepared for Friday?
Hint- What is the first step to creating a correct time shift sentence?
Hint- Is this a complete sentence or a fragment?
Hint- Why is this a comma splice, what did I do wrong?
Hint- Which is possessive and which is plural? 1)Pennys 2)Pennies 3)Penny's
Hint- What is the grammar mistake in the last question?
If you know the answers to all those questions you are almost ready.
