IMPORTANT: When you these these words in a sentence, think what part of speech they are. You guys should know how to use a noun, adjective, verb, and adverb in a sentence---this is what we're doing for our Grammar Unit! For example, for intuition, don't write, "I am intuition." Intuition is a noun and in that sentence it is being used as an adjective (describing noun "I"). For mutual, do not write, "I have mutual." Mutual is an adjective and in that sentence it is being used as an adjective. Write correct sentences. Think about how to use these words correctly. Please don't just write "I am zealous" or "He is zealous." Add a little more to that sentence so that I know without a doubt that you understand the word.

Dear Mrs Merril,
When you post these lists, will you also post the testing dates for them? This is the week after Thanksgiving and usually the test is at the end of the week, but my daughter thinks it is tomorrow (Tuesday December 2) It would just be nice if we could check the blog to make sure. Thanks so much!!
