Thursday is Go Green day. Stars in Service is raising money for the river otter exhibit at the zoo. Students can pay $1 per item and be able to wear green pajamas and hats, chew green gum, or bring green stuffed animals. Remember no hair dye.
LA: We have started a new story this week titled "Me and Uncle Romie." We discussed our story vocabulary (skyscrapers, collage, barbecue, glorious, strutting, flicked and swarms) and vocabulary skill: looking for a context clues in the descriptions of things. We also discussed the comprehension skill of thinking about the characters. We learn about characters by what they do and say. In addition to all of this, we started talking about the adjectives more and most.
Our RIT words for the week include....
plot - the sequence of events in a story.
contrast - looking at the differences between two objects or ideas
metonymy - a type of metaphor in which something closely associated with a subject is substituted for it. For example using the silver screen to refer to movies, the White House to refer to the president and the crown to stand for a king or queen.
job Announcement - written statements describing duties and responsibilities of a position.
editorial - an article giving opinions or perspectives.
