HOMEWORK 12-1-11

To finish our November themes, we read I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie.  We have read several stories similar to this one which makes it easy to make text-to-text connections (students discuss how two books are similar). 

For tonight's assignment, have your child try to recall the items that the woman swallowed.  Next, have your child watch and read along with the PREZI to see if s/he was able to recall all of the items.  Then, have your child clap the number of syllables in each of the items that the old lady ate (refer to the video to see how we clap the number of syllables in a word - thanks to Max and Ansley for the demonstration and to Courtney for filming).  Finally, have your child make a list of which words have 1 syllable and which words have 2 syllables.






COMMENT BOX:  Type your list of 1 syllable items.  Type a list of the 2 syllable items.  Remember to put your name so we know you did your homework.  Last, tell us one other thing that you would like to have seen her eat.  Make sure it stays within the theme of the book.  How many syllables does your item have?  :D

We did this together. We listened to the book read by a 4 year old on you tube because the Prezi did not work for us.

Ansley would like to see her swallow broccoli and cheese.
Gavin would like to see her swallow mashed potatoes.
