-----------------------
Grammar:
We will begin to study subject/verb agreement. Students need to know that verbs are action words. We will continue to review all types of nouns. So students should be able to identify and use pronouns, nouns and proper nouns as well as singular and plural nouns as they create sentences. They will need to know that a noun is a word that names a person, animal, place, or thing. Proper nouns are the special names of people, animals, places, days, months, or holidays. Proper nouns begin with a capital letter. Pronouns are used to replace nouns. As well, students will continue to work on identifying and creating complete statement, command, exclamatory, and question sentences. They should be able to name the subject and predicate of a sentence. They should also know the 3 rules for writing complete sentences. (SOL 2.13).
