Happy Saturday! Roll Tide and Go Gamecocks! I hope you all are having a nice, relaxing weekend. Before I begin telling you about our upcoming week, I do want to remind you of two things. First, Thursday night is our Back to School Beach Bash dance from 6:00-8:00. I'll be chaperoning, so I can't wait to dance the night away with my sweet kiddos! Also, Friday is a PD day for teachers, so students do not have to come to school.
This week, I am teaching one of my favorites parts of figurative language, similes and metaphors! I think the kids will enjoy discovering just how much similes and metaphors are a part of pop culture. We will also be concentrating on main idea and key details for one more week. Please check out the helpful links at the end of this post for free games and videos. If your child is in my language class, we will be talking about independent/dependent clauses and complex sentences. I have also updated the resources tab to include one of my favorite sites, ereading.com. You can search a reading skill, and instantly, lots of downloadable resources are at your fingertips. Spelling Words: search, starve, rumor, reward, sparkle, bargain, parched, pursue, servant, torch, earnest, mourn, fierce, pierce, urge, wharf, court, weird, favorite, burnt Vocabulary: cascaded- something that has fallen or poured down documentation- support of a claim with facts, usually by providing proof in writing dynamic- something that is forceful or full of energy exerts- "puts energy or power into doing something" plummeting- the act of suddenly dropping or falling from a high place pulverize- to crush into small pieces scalding- a liquid extremely hot to touch shards- sharp, pointed pieces of glass, metal, pottery, rock, or other material Helpful Links Main Idea Millionaire The Hamburger Main Idea Game Main Idea- Rags to Riches Simile and Metaphor quiz Similes and Metaphors in Pop Culture Independent and Dependent Clause Video As always, thanks for visiting! :) ~ Mrs. Lee
