Cynthia did a great job in class today. We began with a reading of chapter four of our story. I included this chapter in the homework in case she would like to review it. Cynthia was able to answer comprehension questions about what she read and did a great job with each. We also looked at some of the harder vocabulary words in our story. She did very well  matching each word with the correct definition. 

Cynthia began learning about 'similes.'  We use similes in our writing to make it more interesting. A simile is a comparison with 'like' or 'as.' She did a great job making her own similes about a favorite teacher and her best friend. 

Great job today from Cynthia.

Thanks,

Ms. Katie.
