Yesterday we continued our study of verbs and verb tenses with a winter verb hunt around our room where the students had to find verbs around the room and then place them in their correct column for past, present, and future verb tenses. I think they had a great time and they did very well! It is important that we keep practicing and reviewing the correct use of verbs to translate that usage into our writing as well as our everyday speaking/ language. We will not have our test over this chapter until after we return from Christmas break. Here are some pictures from our activity!
