Today we did something fun :o) We made synonym buns! We learned about words that mean the same thing even though they are different - like scrumptious and yummy. Then we got into partners using good old popcorn containers and crumbled "popcorn" balls, each of the students pull a "boring" word and then have to brainstorm with a partner some synonyms. Then they follow a recipe that calls for dash of "thesaurus" - so we used the ipad, iphone, computer, and paper thesaurus. Then they recorded their synonyms onto "icing" and made synonym rolls.
Field trip forms are due, hot lunch due, spelling tomorrow.
Yes, Karalize came home talking about synonyms and I was quite impressed!! What a great way to explain and teach!
