Language Arts~
Today we went to PE. We came back to class and reviewed past tense verbs and pronouns. Today we learned about antecedents and pronouns. The antecedent is the noun that the pronoun refers to. We sorted spelling words by how the ending was added. We read Dear Mrs. LaRue together and drew conclusions about Ike. We also did the questions at the end of the story together in class. One part of homework done! In vocabulary vine we started unit 5. There will be a quiz on Friday!
