Spelling List #6

Room 920 got together and brainstormed an awesome list of contractions. They're some of the best words we've come up with yet. You should've heard all the ideas. We could've gone on for hours, but we didn't. 'Tis a shame.

Check them out! Practice including a very special punctuation mark into your spelling!

Dance!

Today, all of the Junior Division is watching some crazy dances that were selected by Andrew. Last time, Andrew picked a ballet, so we were all expecting something very traditional. Instead, he picked some really cool contortionist breakdancers to show us. The reactions as all of us were sitting together in one room were amazing.

Check out David Elsewhere:

We talked about how David really needed to think about the shapes that his body took, including both robotic and organic movements between controlled shapes.

We are getting much better at communicating about dance now, as we've seen so many different types and we can compare them to one another and use our dance vocabulary effectively.

Talk at home about body, timing, space, movement, energy and relationship in dance.

Spelling List #5 is up

Two thirds of Room 920 got together and came up with a colossal list of words that have the "oo" sound in them. We were amazed at how many letter combinations worked to make that sound.

Check out the list on Spelling City.

Spelling List #4

Today, 920 got together and practiced our song for Group Share tomorrow (Owen's 1/2s joined us too!). Then, we brainstormed words with a silent letter.

Heather Earl whipped up our new Spelling City list from those words. Here it is! We'd love to see you using these words in your writing and looking for other words that have silent letters.
