Rainbow Triad is as awesome as my mom’s cookies!


Dear Mom and Dad:

Mrs. Ly and Ms. Deobald had Roots of Empathy this morning. Ask me to tell you what the lesson was about.

In the morning, we did a writing activity about similes. We read a book called “My Best Friend is as Sharp as a Pencil”. We learned that a simile is used to compare things using “like” or “as”. This type of writing helps me describe something to my reader.  I had to come up with different words and sentences to describe things. For example, Kingston wrote “Hot like….. the sun”.

We took a closer look at goal setting and then came up with our own goals for school. I neatly wrote my goal in my visual journals and came up with a couple of strategies that I could use. Ask me to share with you what goal I came up with for myself and tell you the strategies I will use. You can help me achieve this goal as well!

Question of the day: Post a simile on the blog about each one of your family members.

Love,
The Rainbow Triad
