We all read different books. Then we started writing down things that happened in the book on a piece of paper. Then we put three good things that happened in the book and three bad things that happened. We needed 3 good things and 2 bad things to include on the board game. Then we had to do a little practice game on a rough draft. We wrote on spaces whether you had to move forward or go back spaces. On our final copy, we colored them, glued them in file folders and wrote letters. Then we laminated them and got to play them. We donated them to Inner City Youth Opportunities, where children go after school for tutoring and other programs. It was fun because we got to help other people.

Ms. Young's class read a book called Frindle. In the book, there is a crazy boy named Nick Allen who invents a new word. The new word is Frindle, which is a replacement to a pen. When he invents the new word his teacher gets really mad and they started a battle: Nick vs. Mrs. Granger. The word starts spreading all over the country and even goes to different countries! Nick was getting richer and richer with all the money he was making too. You won't believe how the ending is! If you want to find out, you should read the book! Questions: Have you ever read a crazy story like this? Would you ever want to invent a new word? What would it be? What would it mean? This week we learned a new rule for adding -ed and -ing to base words. Check out the video to see a demo! To add a little more explanation to what the demo shows, we try the 1-2-3 rule whenever a word ends with a consonant letter, such as "chop" or "run." The exceptions are when the consonant is used to make a new vowel sound, such as "play" or "draw." Because the y and w are acting as part of the vowel sound, we will not double those letters before adding a suffix. We call these words "rule breakers!" |
