First Year Language Lessons

The first years are all working on different phonics patterns. However, many of them are learning the same grammar and word study lessons.

Many of the first years are working with nouns. They are matching objects to cards that identify the noun as a person, place, thing, or animal. We are also making a paper pyramid just like the symbol we use for nouns. 

She is working with the grammar farm. She is labeling nouns on the farm and will write them in her journal.

Many of the first years are also working on compound words. We have learned that compound words are two root words put together to make a new word.
