Monday, December 13th

Hi Parents,

Today was a busy day and a little bit of a different schedule do to the dress rehearsal for our Christmas Program tomorrow.

We had rehearsal from 9:40-11:25.

This afternoon I introduced two assignments for the week. One is a book project designing a new book cover for the book we just completed reading aloud in class called There is a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom (I know I am supposed to underline that, but I cannot figure out how to underline on this blog!). This is an in class assignment, however, if the students do not finish it by Friday it will be homework.

The other assignment we worked on today was working on figurative language, specifically focusing on similes. The students are comparing Christmas/ Holidays to other things using the words like an as.

The spelling words for this week are:
The /s/ sound
super
fastest
pass
since
silly
saved
mice
ice
cents
space
seven
sick
price
silver
race
taste
sometimes

Review short vowel words
getting
can’t
Sunday
Word Wall Words
let's
our
terrible (we are having this word again because so many of them spelled it wrong last week)
don't
won't

Bonus: thesaurus
