We are so excited to kick the new year off with a writing lab that will help your children to be more confident writers and communicators. Please note: these are for MEMBERS ONLY 🙂 Also, we will be taking off the week of 12/26/22, so there will be NO labs that week.

Objective: Students will be able to write sentences in which the subjects and verbs agree with one another.

Essential Questions:

2. How can I combine my subjects and verbs so that they agree.

Enduring Understandings:
