Happy Halloween

Many of Mrs. DeYoung's students played Spooky Bingo this week to practice their articulation and vocabulary skills. They had fun defining words like jack-o-lantern and masquerade. Some third graders were explaining similarities between common objects to develop expressive reasoning and vocabulary. Other students played articulation baseball or continued discussing stories that they had read last week. Fourth grade children used context clues to infer meanings of unknown words from the passage. Jr. high groups have begun to work on answering essay questions using supporting details from the text. All of the groups focus on improving vocabulary and thinking skills in oral and written language activities.
