Today was all about words and writing. We, of course, started our day with our thinking activity, words that begin with the letter F. The kids did great. We had to pull out the dictionary for flabbergasted and other multi-syllablic words the kids came up with. Our other thinking activity was things that glow. This was difficult, but I was still so impressed with what they did come up with for this topic.
Next, the children were asked to write three super sentences about school. Super sentences are something they are learning in their regular classroom. These activities are wonderful for me to see as they give me a sense of their everyday work. I was impressed with the creativity of the sentences. I will ask them to think about super sentences when we do our writing in GATE.
I also gave the children a short spelling test on 10 random words from the Fry 100 list. Your child has their paper in their binder. Please continue to review these words each week. I will ask them to spell 10 words again next week. A couple of the words will be words most of the students missed this week. Last, I gave the students a short activity on the homophone set: to, too and two. They should complete the worksheet and return it next week.
Homework: Study the Fry 100; complete the To, Two and Too worksheet.
