What's Going on in the Classroom? 




       
        -In English, we are learning the Question and Answer Flow. This helps us to identify and classify the parts of speech in a sentence. In the beginning, we started with sentences that had just a noun  and a verb. This week, we are learning the prepositional flow jingle-with all 51 prepositions!!
 You will find the words to the jingles on files located at the bottom of the homework page!
          


For example: 1. ______ The two  fish swam quickly in the water yesterday.
    We say:               
         " The two fish swam quickly in the water yesterday. 
                    What swam quickly yesterday?  fish, subject noun
            What's being said about fish?fish swam, verb
             Swam how?quickly, adverb
