Market Day Work Days

On March 21 and 22 we will have some classroom time to work on their products for Market Day. If it is something they can’t work on they may create the poster for their business.

We were lucky enough to have Mrs. Hansen from the Centennial Library read to our class.  She was fantastic and had the students interested in her books.  Check out the library.

Dress Like a Vocabulary Word

Miss Alaineus Book Event

Friday, March 11th is Dress like a vocabulary word day. 

 

Use your weekly academic vocabulary words (Great for a spiral review!)

Use word types such as have pairs of students dress as different homophones or compound words.

Use your spelling words

Use word families

 

Once you have figured out what word you will use you can have students design their outfit in class or at home:

 

Small:

Choose a word and draw an appropriate description/illustration of the word on a poster or a sign. Be sure to neatly print the vocabulary word in big letters.

 

Medium:

Choose a word and make cardboard, paperbag, or material “puppet” for the chosen word to carry in the parade. Or make a hat using various materials illustrating the word. Be sure to neatly print the vocabulary word in big letters on the puppet/hat, or on the paper to carry or pin to your shirt.

 

Large:

Choose a vocabulary word and dress in/make a full costume illustrating the word. Be sure to neatly print the vocabulary word in big letters to pin to your costume.
