Week 3 at a Glance

WOW!  Two weeks under our belts!  :)

Recapping Week 2 of Essentials.  We continued looking at the big picture of the Essentials of the English Language (EEL).  Delving into the world of verbs.  We added strong verbs and -LY words to our arsenal of "dress-ups" for the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW).

Here is a quick preview of Week 3:  We will begin looking at "our puzzle" piece by piece by working on the first two sentence classifications.  We will also be learning  attributes of nouns and pronouns.  Tackling unit 1 in IEW Teaching Writing: Structure & Style, we will take a look at note making and outlines.
 
This week we want to continue memorizing grammar  Charts A, B, C, & D.  Copying the chart is a great learning tool!  And remember to "scale" the memorization work to the needs of your child/children.  

I am looking forward to the presentation of the "strong verb" poems.  Have your child choose one of the two poems to present.  However, we will include both poems in our "End of the Year Book".  

Have a great week!
