THE GRAMMAR VOCABULARY
First and second grade you drill to your students nouns and verbs and that job is really fun and quite easy. Third grade you start to throw in adjectives and pronouns. Then the sentence confusion begins to happen. A noun becomes an adjective a verb becomes a noun and you have your work cut out for you and yes you DO work on it ALL year. Some get it quickly and some not so.... Then 4th grade you introduce conjunction, preposition, and interjection--the mouthful words--which some barely can get the words out of their mouths correctly let alone tell you what they stand for in a definition. Then if you thought some were confused before, wait. You have that patience of a saint, that is why you are a TEACHER and you will dissect and teach and reteach it all year and hopefully by the end of the year almost all of your students will be Grammar Ready for 5th Grade.
