Let's get to know each other!
We have learned that an autobiography is a written work where the author write about himself. After comparing and contrasting the attributes of autobiographies and biographies, Mrs. Russell shared her autobiography with the students. Now, she would like to learn more about them! Each student has completed an outline to organize their ideas for their own autobiography and is now working on writing an essay from that outline. Handwritten or typed autobiographies are due Wednesday, August 11th.
Nouns
This week we are focusing on nouns in Language Arts. Things to remember...
-A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea.
-Remember to look for noun markers (a, an, and the) which can help you identify nouns that are close by.
-Nouns can be common (general and nonspecific, like "cat") or proper (specific and begin with a capital letter, like "Mrs. Russell").
-Nouns are either concrete (can be sensed by the five senses, like "flower") or abstract (can't be sensed, like "love").
*We will have a noun quiz this Friday, 8/13/10.

Hi, my name is...
Introduce yourself to your classmates. You might want to include your age, favorite subjects, hobbies, and any other background information that is interesting. We are going to have a great year getting to know each other! Let's get started now.

Hi Parents and Students! Welcome to our website! Feel free to take a look around. You can check out the week's spelling words, important information and dates, and pictures of the students.
