Mrs. Nelson

Mrs. Toone sent me this picture from our last day of school.  What a great picture to close off our blog.   We’ve had a great time, and we’ve learned so many things!  Go get ‘em in 4th grade!   You are so ready!

I want to thank ALL OF YOU for the Nelson rock that now sits in front of the Nelson moose.  It says Est. 1923 under the name because that is the year Mr. Nelson’s grandfather first purchased the farm.  We are so proud to have it on our farm and we are so proud that it came from you.  A thousand thank yous!

There’s a new addition to  the Craig family!  He’s hiding under the bed…..this is Roxy!  What a cute little face!  What do you suppose he’s thinking?

Ali shared this birthday picture with me and I knew you would all want to see it.   Look at those crazy candles.  It looks like it was a happy day for you Ali!

Just today Mr. and Mrs. Flatt sent me pictures of the garden that you planted on Pioneer Day!   Can you believe the crop that you are growing?  Soon they will be able to harvest beans, and then corn, and then hills of potatoes!    What a wonderful planting job you all did!

Maddie is back from her vacation at Gulf Shores, Alabama!  Doesn’t THIS look like fun?   She said she found lots of shells and swam in the ocean!   Thanks for sending in the picture Maddie.   You look wonderful.

Carter sent in a great picture to share.   This is from one of his favorite sports….hockey.   This spring his team won a mini tournament.   Can you see how happy and proud he is?  Congratulations Carter!

Finding VERBS in sentences usually is quite easy, but sometimes we run into verbs where the action is a little hard for us to “see.”   For example, words like “run, sit, jump and skip” all easily show action and we recognize them as VERBS.   But what about words like “hear, watch, know and learned?”  Those words are also verbs, but they don’t show the same type of action or movement that you may think a verb should show.   Try this verb recognition game and see how quickly you can find the one verb among the other words.

Remember that a noun is a PERSON, a PLACE, or a THING.    You can touch a noun….it’s there….it’s touchable.  In this cute and clever fishing game you just quickly click on the noun and the worm goes right in the fish’s mouth to score points.  Only one of the words in the group will be a noun.   You choose which one you think it is.   Good luck!

Sometimes it’s difficult to know just where to put a comma, or what type of punctuation we need at the end of a sentence.   Play around with this site.   You just might learn a few new tips!
