Here's What's Happening In Miss Trefonas's Classroom:

READING: We will be learning about different types of analogies.
Each day we will have an analogy contest and have an analogy assignment.
This week the different reading skills learned during this first half of the trimester will be assessed.
SCOOPer Reading: Many avid readers in this classroom! I don't have to do much encouraging to read!! I continue to enjoy the book discussions I have with the students.
ENGLISH: We will be doing a creative activity with comma usage based on the book, Eats, Shoots, and Leaves by Lynn Truss. The students will be able to see why commas really do make a difference!
Also, we will learn about interjections! School House Rocks will be used during this lesson!!

They have been the volunteers for my classroom for the past 9 years! I'm sure your student will be sharing some of their experiences with this program during the next few weeks!
