Grammar/Writing: In replacement of phonics practice pages, I am sending home a grammar/writing packet. This entire packet is due Friday, March 21^st 2014. In class, we have been practice writing our opinions and supporting it with reasons. With that said, this should be an easy review of writing their opinion. I recommend completing a page a day and having your child develop their opinion paragraph on Thursday. Remind your child to pay close attention to spelling and end marks in their writing.
