Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to use adjectives in sentences.

Homework For Today:
No homework on Friday

Today's Agenda:
1. Warm-up and Correct the warm-up 2. Vocabulary Test #8--Read each word in a different order and students will write the correct spelling on their own piece of paper. Make sure that you DO NOT allow students to correct the vocabulary tests in an effort to save time. They have a tendency to cheat when given this opportunity. Something else that works to decrease the amount of cheating with the vocabulary tests is to have students turn their papers over once they have finished the test. Then, they pass these tests up to the front without having the person in front of them looking for the correct answers and (possibly) changing the answers. 3. Review the concepts of adjectives with students, so that they really have a grasp of this concept. Write some common adjectives on the board and have students draw pictures of what these adjectives look like. 4. As a way to wrap up the story, Growing Together, and prepare for a new lesson next week, pass out page 24/25 of Intergrate the Language Arts to students. Guide students these pages. If time, pass out copies of page 19 Selection Review to students and answer the questions.
