Parents and Students Celebrating Literacy

We started our day with Making Words.  How many words can you make in 10 minutes from a jumbled word.  Then guess the word follows.  Wow talk about quiet and competition!! The students had published a plethora of books which they were anxious to share with their parents.  We had a great turn out and lots of fun.  I modeled a unit on character pushing plot from our Seminars of Critical Literacy. Parents were asked to provide input on concept words when they were promted. I think they were amazed how well their children knew a variety of advanced concepts. We also invited parents to play a game of Homonyms on our Interactive Board.  Now this was hilarious for all.  Thank you to the brave parents who tried it on.
