As part of our school’s celebration of Literacy Week, we read Miss Alaineus, A Vocabulary Disaster. In the book, the main character misunderstands one of her weekly vocabulary words which leads to an embarrassing situation in front of her entire class. But by the end of the story, she triumphs with huge success. All of the students in the book create a word costume to illustrate understanding of a chosen or assigned word so we thought it would be fun to have our own Vocabulary Parade. Please help your child complete his/her word costume with a poster, puppet, hat, crown, paper, bag, sheet or sandwich board. We will share our words on Wednesday, January 24th. Thank you for all you do to support making learning fun in our classroom.
