Today, we put on our thinking caps and used pictures and context clues to predict compound words and infer word meaning in our read aloud. We had words like grasshoppers, sunflowers, stagecoach, rattlesnake, and doghouse, just to name a few. Look below at a compound word match the students did after the read aloud:
 |
| Once There Was a Bull... (frog) |
 |
| Finding the compound word matches |
 |
| Can you make a compound word? |
We'll be working on inferring word meaning the rest of this week, and next week we'll focus on inferring what characters are thinking and feeling.
In other school news, we made special clocks today to help us tell time to the nearest 5 minutes. Check out the clocks below:
We're off to a great start this week!
*Reminders*
-There is no school this Friday (2/15) or Monday (2/18).
-Our weekly children's liturgy will be on Wednesday (Ash Wednesday) at 8:15am in the church (instead of Friday).

| It looks like just a normal clock, but... |
 |
| the hour numbers open to reveal the minutes! |
