This week, in addition to the following, we will be working on contractions.  We will be practicing replacing a vowel with an apostrophe.  The kids have practiced with the word, “is” and “not”, thus far.  We have also moved on to identifying verbs in a sentence.  The children have been pretty solid with identifying and writing nouns.  I have been impressed with how well the children have been able to identify verbs, that don’t show an obvious “action”.  Finally, we will be throwing in some additional practice with plural nouns.  This proved to be a difficult task for many.
