Pronouns!

DJ loved the Schoolhouse Rock videos, and they helped him remember parts of speech by resinging the song. So, I am going to try it with Caitlin as well. She has nouns and verbs down real well, now she needs to get pronouns. There is a Schoolhouse Rock video and a cute PBS Kids video. If your kids need to learn pronouns, teach them in a song.

Caitlin is doing well with sentences and fragmented sentences, which she eased into pretty easily. I am very happy for that.

Conjunction Junction What's Your Function?

It has been a whopper of a day. I woke up to no internet service, and it never got fixed until around dinner time. So I apologize to all my Entrecard and Blogging For Fun friends, that I did not get to visit. I am continuing on with the grammar theme, and those of you who are my age will remember School House Rock videos.

Conjunctions are connectors. The connect individual words or groups of words in a sentence. There are three different kinds of conjunctions: coordinate conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and subordinate conjunctions. Boring I know, but the video below is fun, and teaches kids to remember these difficult grammar rules through music.
