Wordly Wise Practice

In 5th grade, we use the Wordly Wise spelling and vocabulary program. Students usually receive their packets and words on Fridays and test on the following Thursday. To give students extra study time, we have decided to give our first spelling/vocabulary quiz this Friday. To help your student review the words, they can go to Quizlet and play games or use the flashcards. Here is the link: http://quizlet.com/2620063/wordly-wise-lesson-1-flash-cards/

My Poem

I read this great poem today-I have to work on letting my writer's have their say (not mine)

IT'S MY POEM

I wrote it.
You read it.
You like it
Or not.

If not
Then you leave it.
But don't you rewrite it.

They're my words.
I chose them.
I wrote it.
I lived it.

You leave it
Alone.

Limericks

We are writing limericks in writing. Here are two written by Rachel that are sure to make you smile.


There once was a rooster named Bens
He had about fifteen hens
They clucked all night
Because they saw a terrible sight
A shadow of a fish with too many fins!



There once was a bird named Bee
who was missing his left knee
he hobbled around
and jumped at the sound
of a big, brown, falling tree.
