This week, Grade 3 students transformed into word wizards as they embarked on a journey into the world of synonyms. To kick things off, students partnered to brainstorm all of the synonyms they could think of for a given simple word. The real magic happened when they dove into the digital realm, exploring the bountiful collection of words on Thesaurus.com to uncover even more synonyms.
As the week continued, creativity soared as they crafted their very own "synonym" rolls, proudly displaying the new words they had discovered. And as a sweet reward for their linguistic adventures, students wrapped up the week with a delightful treat—real cinnamon rolls! The icing on the cake (or should we say, the roll) was witnessing students weave their newfound vocabulary into vivid and exciting descriptions of the cinnamon roll experience. It was a week filled with learning, laughter, and, of course, the joy of words!
