Magical Word: Decorum

Check out the word for the day.  

You will find it on the right side of the blog, under a heading called 'Word Power'.  You can listen to how the word is said and find other words that mean the same - synonyms.

Sentence:
She behaved with decorum.

How can you use this word in the classroom or your writing today?  I will award class Pyramid Points if I hear it used correctly.

They have been experimenting with Wordle and word patterns.

I think we could have a try too.  Make sure you visit them and leave a comment on their blog to say thanks for the idea.

I wonder who will be the first to find out where their school is?  Leave a comment with your guess.

Spelling - prefix or suffix?

Use prefixes and suffixes to create new words, with new meanings, from words you already know. This is a really cool spelling game that we will be using this year. Give it a go to see how many different words you can make.
