Tall Tales
Our last Spelling test is on Friday!
Today we took our test about Paul Bunyan's life as an adult in the story The Bunyans. This story is rich in figurative language, so we spent a good amount of time reviewing alliteration, personification, similes, metaphors, puns, proverbs, etc. We also worked on writing a brief tall tale as a portion of the reading test today.

Spelling Unit 29 is words with prefixes and suffixes. The main thing is to simply study the base word spelling. The words look difficult, but when broken into smaller parts, they are really quite easy! We only have one more week of Spelling after this week!
