Homework (HOORAY!)

Well, it's homework time! We were so busy Tinikling last week that we didn't have a chance to do anything from the workbook, so let's do a couple of pages for our homework. I'm going to ask you to do some science. Try pages 104 and 105.

Page 105 has some interesting questions -- numbers 11 through 15. Your job is to figure out the connection between the words in the problem. Take a look at this:

Drink (A) is to milk (B) like eat (C) is to sandwich (D).

In this sentence, A and B are connected in the same way that C and D are connected. The action word that goes with "milk" is "drink," and the action word that goes with "sandwich" is "eat." Here's another one:

Smile (A) is to frown (B) like sit (C) is to stand (D).

A and B in this one are opposite to each other. C and D are ALSO opposite to each other. So on page 105 you have to finish the sentence with the best word! Good luck!

And just for fun, when you have finished pages 104 and 105, see if you can write one more in your notebook. Here's one:

Richie is to Jojo like Angus is to _____________ (Who?!)

Now, try to write your own! Use your imagination...


One more thing... I heard that a couple of boys in the class are excited about how fast Christie can type. YOU can learn how to type fast, too!! Sophie and I found this cool website with some typing games that are fun AND that can teach you how to type. Check this out:

See if you can do the "home row" on Spacebar Invaders!

See you Saturday!
