A nice start in October

CLAP CLAP CLAP I was not late in our class today. I was 20 minutes earlier. The weather this morning was cloudy and cold. But less colder than yesterday.

Our teacher gave us a short spelling game as start of our lesson. And again, I had the difficulty to determine whether she is saying E or I. Unless when I already know the word, then I know how to spell it correctly. We also had to differentiate between a noun and a verb and how it is written in the sentence with regards to the first letter of the word. For a noun, it always start with a capital letter. And for a verb, small letter. Constructing the sentences, correcting, marking the letter that needs to be capitalized. Determining the first name, family name or surname, street name, house number, city, place, and postal code. And we were taught how to and where to write our name and address on the envelope. And we have a long homework to do for our next class on Monday.
