We Love Reading!

We began switching classes on Thursday and have had a wonderful time doing so! In our reading class, we we read a great play about two friends named Damon and Pythias who were very loyal to one another. The class was assigned parts and we had a day to act out the play and create our own music when it was called for!

Not only did we read a great story, we have been working on our grammar skills. Last week we talked about nouns and this week we concentrated on verbs. To help your child remember the difference, have them log in to Brain Pop. Our username is: springwoodelem, password: owls. Brain Pop has a video about anything you can imagine, so by all means, take a look at as many videos as you want! Try the quiz at the end to test your knowledge.

Here's your weekend challenge! How many action verbs can you think of to describe the events in this picture?
