Subjects and Predicates Practice/Independent Clauses

Here's a link for a helpful online review of simple subjects and predicates:

https://www.ixl.com/ela/grade-4/identify-the-simple-subject-or-predicate-of-a-sentence

In addition to identifying subjects and predicates, your quiz tomorrow will include independent clauses. You will need to:
- Identify independent clauses
- Separate two independent clauses that are in one sentence
- Correct capitalization and punctuation if necessary

Don't forget - an independent clause includes both a subject and a predicate, and can stand on its own as a statement. To separate two independent clauses, "a comma is not enough!!!" :) You can use a comma WITH a conjunction, a semicolon, or simply turn the two independent clauses into separate sentences. For example:

I play the violin it's my favorite hobby. - There are two independent clauses here:

1. I play the violin
2. It;s my favorite hobby

These two statements must be separated, and that separation could look like any of the following:

1. I play the violin. It's my favorite hobby.
2. I play the violin; it's my favorite hobby.
3. I play the violin, and it's my favorite hobby.

Creative Writing Feature

I've seen some pretty amazing blackout poems this week. You guys are so creative and I can't wait to see what the rest of the year holds. Here's a feature from Wednesday's class - take that message and run with it. See our poetry board to find out who the author is. So good!

"Turnt" up for Vocab

I just want to give a shout-out to all these amigos in 6-2 who were able to enter their names into the jar for using vocab words during our reading check discussion today. :)

Sparkle

Remember to study your vocab words tonight for our test tomorrow! Also, here's a #tbt to two hours ago, when Andy won his first round of Sparkle ever, and then did the best victory dance in history. (And by victory dance, I mean he knocked over all the vocab jars in excitement, and it was awesome.)

Shenanigans...

I had a lot of fun with you all during our "peasant" activity today. Check the chalkboard tomorrow for more messages to King Ptolemy.

P.S.: I spotted a potato in my classroom, lurking next to the smartboard. Be careful. It looks suspicious.

P.S.S.: Shadow words are awesome. We spelled "love" today - spread some love to your fam when you go home today <3
