Thursday

 

To be able to find the end time to 5 minutes, given the start time and the duration.

Let's explore.

Let's learn.

Let's try the guided practice together.

Turn to page 139 and 140.

 

 

 

Today we are going to read through the text and identify words the author has used to join ideas. We call these conjunctions. 

We have learned about coordinating conjunctions, which join two main clauses, and subordinating conjunctions, which join a main clause and a subordinating clause (which doesn’t make a full sentence on its own.)

Let’s watch to remind ourselves of examples of coordinating conjunctions before we identify them in our text.

 

Now let’s watch a video about subordinating conjunctions to remind ourselves how they are used to add extra detail for the reader when we are explaining how or why something happens.

 

Write a sentence that we can include in our life cycle of a plant that includes a subordinating conjunction.

 For example 

 

“A plant grows tall when it gets enough sunlight.”

(“when” is the subordinating conjunction)
