Boring, Tired Words


***************************************

Tired words want to go to sleep.

Let them rest! Don’t make a peep!

Grab a synonym instead.

Let those tired words stay in bed!

Who wants to writing boring stories that no want wants to read? We don't! 

This year, I have added a listing of high frequency words and their synonyms to the Take Home folder so that students are able to write better and become familiar with these exciting words. As we add words in the classroom; I will update the list that is in the folder.

To take a peek at this list click here or look on the sidebar under Necessities - Take Home Folder

Look for...

....Camelot's advertisement in the Back to School section of the St. Petersburg Times.

While You're Waiting.....

Flickr Photo Collection

I have created a Flickr account for school photos so that parents will be able to view the photos from past and current school years.

Before

This picture shows the classroom now. Wow! What a mess! But in a few short weeks it will be magically transformed with a lot of hard work and sweat.

I hope you look forward to the "after" as much as I do.

Summer is Here.....

...But the new school year is already on my mind.
