We learned about Barbara Frietchie  and the “Too soon to be a woman.” Barbara Frietchie stand up to the Confederate Amry during the civil war. She raised the Union flag in front of them while others took their flag down. In the story too soon a woman, Mary, a 18 years old girls who follow the poor family with no food and money, ate a big mushroom to test whether it’s poisonous. She risk her life for the starving kids and at the end she didn’t die. She is responsible and selfless. she act too soon like a adult because she was only 18 a teenager. We learn that we need to spell out number out up to ninety-nine. For example, we can’t write “He has 2 dogs”. We need to write “He has two dogs.”

This week, we learn about prepositional Phase and Harriet Tubman. We also done our time reading this friday. Prepositional phase is made up of prepositon and an object. For example, i run around the room, “around the room”is the prepositional phrase. Around is preposition and room is the object. I learn that Harriet Tubman help many fugitives escape to the north by the underground rail road. Harriet Tubman was a strong, determined, selfless woman. She is often called Moses by the fugitives so the slave hunters won’t know she is actually a female. This week time reading we read about the function of brain. Brain is really amazing. People often determine a person’s death by seeing if the brain is dead. Brain control every part of our body and each section of the brain does different job.

This week we learn about singular and pluarl. This was quiet easy for every one in the class. Basically, we just need to put a “s” at the end of the word to make it plural. If a word is end with sh, ch, u need to add es to the back of the word. There are some exception, like moose is both singular and plural. We read about how Harriet Tubman help slave to escape to Cananda through underround rail road. Harriet Tubman was a brave, cares for others and determined woman. She is a great leader. In the story, the author use indirect characterization to describe Harriet Tubman.

This week, we learned about some common errors in our vignette. i learn that we need to start a new paragraph whenether a new person speaks in a diaglogue. I learn that we need to add the assignment name in the right hand corner with our names and dates. We learn new vacabulary like incentive, indirect characterization, dispel, fugitives and many other words from the new story we need to read for homework, Conductor on the Underground Railroad. We had a vocabulary quiz on Thursday. We need to review all the grammar we had learned so far for next Thursday grammar test. 

This week, we learned about vignettes, prepositon, conjunction and interjectin. We learned what are them and how to use them. Vignettes is an incompele story that describe what happen in a scene. We wrote one vignettes about what happen in our home and one base on the magazine picture that we picked.  It’s fun to write it.

The grammar helps me to further understand the key term and ways to use it. I think it will help me on my essays and storys.

This week, i learn about verb and adverb. Verb expressed an action or state of being. I learn that there are action verb and linking verb. Some examples are “walk” is a action verb because it describe what a thing or person do and “is” is a linking verb because it link the subject and predicate together. I learn that adverb can describe a adjectives and verb. Also i learn that no is always a adverb. Adverbs are usually end with ly but there are exceptional. For examples like when, where , why, and too. I also learn vocabulary on the work sheet Ms. Brown gave to us. The vocabulary are key term we used in a writting and story. On this week time reading, we read about Sherlock Holmes. I always though Holmes is a real dectactive but he was a fictional character.

This week i learn about how can foreshadow used in a story. The Landlady used lots of foreshadowing to let us know what might happen to Billy.Foreshadowing is a really good way to suspense a story. I learn from the story The Landlady to trust your instant. If you don’t trust your instant, you will end out like Billy, who got poison and stuffed by the landlady. Also Ms. Brown told us not to drink any drinks from a stranger especially like in the US. They might put drugs inside and poison you. I also learn about adjective. Adjective modifies a noun to tell how many, what kind,and which kind. For example, in the sentence “There is a red apple.” the red is an adjective and it modifies the noun apple.

On Tuesday,  we get our test back. I got 5 mistake and after Ms. Brown explaining the answers, i understood my errors. We had many home work on holt reader and hand out. Also we need to define words on the Vocab List. We also learn about pronouns. There are 3 type of pronouns; objective, subjective and possesive pronouns. There are the first perosn, second person and third person pronouns. Examples of third person pronoun are he, she, they, them, their, her ,his and so on.
