Warm Up: Fill in the blanks.
Lesson: Today the students took a learning check (quiz) about prepositional phrases. When the students finished, they worked on homework, missing work, and enrichment. Homework: None Warm Up: Write the preposition for each sentence. You do not need to write the sentence.
Lesson: Today the students practiced identifying and labeling prepositional phrases. For a copy of the PowerPoint, click here. The students recorded their answers on page 6 of their packet. Homework: None Lesson: Today the students learned about prepositional phrases.
To find a prepositional phrase, first you need to find the preposition. A prepositional phrase will always start with a preposition. Then you ask yourself the big "What?" question to figure out where the prepositional phrase ends. For example:
We practiced labeling prepositional phrases on pages 3-4 of their packet. Then I shared a helpful trick for finding prepositional phrases. Sometimes prepositions are obvious in a sentence. They jump right out at you. However, sometimes finding prepositions can be hard. Through the process of elimination, you can find any prepositional phrase. All you have to do is cross off the subject and verb. A preposition will never be the subject or verb. Once you have eliminated the subject and verb, you can check to see what is left. Often times, there will be a prepositional phrase. For example:
The students practiced this on page 5 in their packets. Homework: None Warm Up: Pick two prepositions from the list. Write two sentences using the prepositions. Circle the preposition.
Lesson: Today the students learned about prepositions. A preposition is a word that shows a relationship between a noun (or pronoun) and some other word in the sentence.
A preposition can show where people or things are located. For example:
A preposition can also show time relationships. For example:
First, the students practiced identifying prepositions on pages 2 and 3 of their preposition packet. Then the students worked in pairs to play preposition "I Spy." The students were given the picture below. They had to write a sentence for each cat in the picture. For each sentence, they had to use a prepositional phrase. For example: "The cat is on the lamp." Homework: None Warm Up:
Lesson: Today the students learned about prepositions.
To practice prepositions, we went on a scavenger hunt. I hid numbered rubber duckies around the room and the students had to find them. When they found a duck, they had to write a sentence describing the location. In each sentence, they had to use a preposition. For example:
Homework: None Warm Up: Is the sentence simple or compound?
Lesson: Today we practiced identifying and correcting run-on sentences. I explained how you can add a comma and a conjunction to fix a run-on sentence.
Homework: Study for conjunction quiz Warm Up:
Lesson: Today we revisited what we have learned about conjunctions, simple sentences, and compound sentences. We practiced identifying and creating simple and compound sentences on pages 2 and 3 of their conjunction packet.
Homework: None Warm Up:
Lesson: Today the students learned about a new part of speech - conjunctions!
Then the students learned about about simple and compound sentences.
Homework: None Warm Up: Write the whole sentence and fill in the blank.
Lesson: Today the students took a learning check (quiz) about pronouns. When they finished the learning check, the students worked on homework, missing work, read, or chose one of the following language arts activities:
