Dear Students and Parents,
Our students took a quiz on nouns recently, Unit 2 in grammar. Their tests are glued into their blue language notebooks. While they did well on the end of the unit test, there were some aspects that need review work.

Each student has an individually created packet of “Extra Practice” pages that are part if the text package we are using. There is a brief explanation of the skill being reinforced at the top of the page, followed by a series of exercises. The exercises begin with the basic idea in simplistic form (the circle exercises), followed by the average use of the skill (the triangle exercises), and ending with application of the skill (the square exercises).

I would like the parents to review each skill with your child and work through the circle and triangle exercises together. Please have the students do the square sections of each worksheet along. Most of the time this practice can be done directly on the paper. The students will need to return the completed work no later than Monday, October 11, 2010.

Thank you for your help in reinforcing these important grammar skills with your child.
