We worked on our Stellar Unit 4: To Town (p. 7), where we have to add commas when we use 2 adjectives in the same sentence. For example, "the big, yellow bulldozer". The video below shows some of the ways we use commas:
A recap about adjectives:

We watched about the Amazing Newts Vibrate. I attempted to help them remember examples of Adjectives, Nouns and Verbs. But I realised it made them more confused instead 😅 Sharing the video below in case you hear them talking about it and you would know where it's from. They thought it was really funny though!
Some of the kids started pointing out that they see a Magic 'e' in the word 'Adjective'. The kids are kind of obsessed with Magic 'e' at the moment, every time they see an 'e' appears at the end, they would call it out.
I told them that the Magic 'e' only has powers to strengthen 1 vowel in the word; when there are too many vowels, it is not able to help. There were 3 other vowels in the word 'Adjective', so Magic 'e' does not do anything.
These are the Magic 'e' vowels, where usually the vowel that it strengthens is two letters down:
a_e
i_e
o_e
u_e
Hope this helps!
