Hello, my Grade 4/5 Literary geniuses! REMINDER NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!   :)

Continue working on your paragraph (4 - 6 sentences) about at home learning if you haven’t already finished it. Reminder to be super neat as this will be handed in when you return to school.

Today I would like you to start on Rule #7 – Irregular Plurals

When you look over the words on the first page the plurals are not simply adding s or es, the singular noun changes too!

Highlight: Some nouns have special plural forms. They are called irregular plurals.

Please complete the second page:

A)   Fill in the Blanks (Hint: look back on page 1 to help you fill in the blanks, read the sentences carefully and fill in what makes sense)

B)    Please find 5-8 different irregular plural nouns

Also, read over and study your spelling words.

Please email me at melissa.barry@nbed.nb.ca if you have any questions.

Hello, my Grade 4/5 Literary geniuses! I miss all of you!!   :)

Please use today to finish all of Rule 6 if you didn’t already on Monday.

Continue working on your paragraph (4 - 6 sentences) about at home learning. Please include the following in your sentences:     (hint 1 sentence may have several items below in it)

1. Use a singular noun    (rule 6) green
2. Use a plural noun        (rule 6) green
3. Write a compound sentence using ‘and’, ‘or’, or ‘but’ (rule 4) yellow
4. Use a proper noun       (rule 5) red

7. Use an exclamation sentence (rule 1) blue

****Please review the rule information pages before starting

Some questions to think about:

• Do you like or not like home learning?
• What do you miss about school?
• What are you doing at home when you’re not working on schoolwork?

After your paragraph is written please go through the sentences you created and underline using different colours where you used each rule. The colours to use are highlighted by rule. (See above)

Example: Today I am going to have bacon and eggs for breakfast, or maybe I will have cereal instead. My favourite is Cheerios. They are the best! Later this afternoon, my son will walk the dog. I can’t wait until I can be teaching in my classroom again. (Please see the email for the colours of this sentence as it didn't show up in this format! )

***Please be super neat as you will hand this in when you return to school!!!!

Also, read over and study your spelling words.

Please complete the third page of Rule 6 – Picture Plurals

****Please read the instructions before starting 

A part – be sure to refer to the beginning page for all the rules to help you make the nouns plural

B part – first choose a noun, then make the word plural, then write a sentence with both the noun and plural word (they do not need to be the same)

Example: We have two couches in my living room, but I always sit in the comfy chair.

    couches – plural noun        chair – singular noun                        

    sentence – compound with ‘but’ conjunction

Also, read over and study your spelling words.
