Spelling words this week all included a c making the s sound (ex. once). Our lists are becoming more challenging - encourage your child to practice at home.
Students also continued working on their biography writing projects (we keep getting interrupted due to special events!), and most have edited their drafts. We hope to publish next week.
We also reviewed similes as a method writers use to make writing more interesting or clear to a reader. After reading a book about similes, students wrote their own; we found that it can be a little tricky (the writer has to be sure the reader will easily understand the comparison).
Here are a few that students came up with:
As happy as
my dad watching football
a bee in a flower
children at Christmas
As contented as
a child eating as much chocolate as they want
a sleeping baby
As calm as a sleeping cat
As loud as a screaming bobcat in a trap
As pretty as a princess at a wedding
