On going through out the year
We are working on editing paragraphs. We need to practice grammar, so we will be using it daily to fix mistakes. I will practice with them each week. We will focus on certain skills each day to help improve our grammar and writing skills. I want to know they have mastered certain grammar skills before I quiz them. My goal is to not collect grades, but to ensure understanding.
