Today we tried to put more words in a sentence to make it a complete sentence. We made sure each one had a subject and a predicate. We also learned in health that to have balanced meals in your day, you need to have eight glasses of water, three servings from the vegetable and milk groups, two servings from the meat and fruit groups. Finally, you get just a little bit of fats and sweets.

We have been reading the Peg Kehret story I Am Not Who You think I Am. It is a very exciting book. Please give me your thoughts about the poster Ginger received from her parents as a birthday present. The poster said Live with Purpose and Honor. What does it mean? Can you give examples of people who do this? What does it mean in everyday life at school? What part is more difficult: purpose or honor? Why?

Here is the sentence and how we fixed it. Mr. Hepler’s favorite team is the Pittsburgh Steelers. He thought he was going to fool us, but we knew what to do.

Today we learned that when you are alphabetizing words, you don’t put backpack before back because back is like the same word but with less letters so back goes first. We also learned past tense. The sentence had catched in it. That doesn’t go because it isn’t even a word. The word to use is caught. Also, we learned that instead of saying “she has no sisters”, you would have to say “she doesn’t have any sisters” because it is not correct grammar to say it the other way,
