Week 8 Prepositions

We had another good review today playing moms vs. kids in seeing who could write out the chart the fastest.
The noun chart proved to be a little more challenging. The kids won in both classes by just a small amount.
Thank you all for being good sports. I will think of another fun game to play with the moms in a couple of weeks. We did not introduce too much new information today. We went over changing declarative sentences to interrogative sentences in the S-Vt-DO pattern. This was a good review.
We went over prepositions. We talked about prepositional phrases, and that they were either adjectival or adverbial . We went over how to diagram a prepositional phrase. It is important to remember that a prepositional phrase does not contain the subject, a direct object or the verb of a sentence. This is why one of the first things to do with breaking down a sentence is to identify if there are any prepositional phrases.
Put parentheses around the prepositional phrases, and then identify your subject, verb, and direct object.
In the first class we were able to play a game with the prepositions. Make sure your child works on memorizing them.
