[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but as a teacher, I don’t think the way it’s embedded in the curriculum works well. I don’t know how it’s even possible but I get kids in high school who still don’t know a [b]noun = an object = subject of the sentence and verb = action[/b] = predicate. They REALLY struggle with *basic* grammar concepts so if you want to work on explicit instruction of that at home, it wouldn’t be a bad idea. [/quote] There were big changes to the ES curriculum over the past year or two. We spent a lot of time on this with our third graders this year. More than I ever did in the past and I’ve been with FCPS for 30 years.[/quote] Good to know! Hopefully it helps. I suspect reading/writing workshop curriculum models have harmed grammar education over the years so perhaps as we shift away from those finally we will stop seeing high schoolers who can’t grasp basic grammar concepts.
