This post is purely to brag about the amazing kids I teach. First of all, we are only into the fifth week of our spelling program and already everyone is demonstrating so much improvement in their reading and writing. All your hard work definitely shows!
WAY-TO-GO Division 4!!!!!!!
Every week, the students are given several ideas for extra spelling help at home. One of the suggestions is to come up with their own creative and fun way to practise their words. Two of my lovely little leaders in grade two have surpassed my expectations the last two weeks and have come up with the coolest projects! The classroom has definitely been filled with many oooohhhhs and aaaahhhhhs! You can see their amazing work below.
Some "sweet spelling" cookies by the lovely Amy!
Amy also came up with the idea for "spicy spelling" and used white glue to write each of the spelling words on construction paper.
Then she sprinkled the glue with some delicious smelling spices. Unfortunately, my camera was not at school that day so I was unable to take a photo.
A spooky spelling graveyard and a spelling mobile by the sweet Alexis!
Wow! What creative ways to practise our words!
We wrapped-up our pumpkin study today by writing a pumpkin diamante poem. A diamante poem is a poem in the shape of a diamond. Each line uses specific types of words, like adjectives. It does not have to rhyme. After we completed our poem, we used chalk pastels to create these pumpkin patch scenes.
Can you say
AH-MAZ-ING!!!!
They are all so pretty!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Have a great weekend everyone!
