Nouns in Language Arts

After spending a couple of weeks drafting their narrative composition, students will continue studying grammar in the English textbook.  Even though students do not keep a copy of the book at home, they are encouraged to check out a book to review at any time during the unit.  The notes and examples they tot down in their notebook during class will also help as they complete on the workbook pages.

Topics we will study include:

Common and Proper-Which ones need to be capitalized?
Plurals-When do I add -s, -es, or is there another way to form the plural?
Possessives-When do I add -'s or -s'?
