This month, we are learning about how to replace a boring word, like said, with a more exciting word like screamed. It is called Word Choice. We are learning how to describe more in our writing too. Do you know some artists draw gigantic heads and really small bodies? These are called caricatures. On the heads we have been drawing a lot of details, and some things that aren't quite normal. On my picture, one of the things I drew was fire in the eyes so that people knew that my character was hot without me saying it. Then we wrote about the details we drew.

We have been using a Thesaurus to help us turn a boring word into a more exciting word. In the second picture at the top, Ms. B gave us a word and we had to look in the Thesaurus to find a synonm for it. Then we wrote different words on the colors. We try not to use boring words as much.
We have also been working on an animal project where we have to write facts about our animal. We used a book or an iPad. When we're finish with the project, we have to make a book about it. We have been having a lot of fun in Ms. B's room!
