Teacher Comments: [smiley] We all just loved "Monster Snack"! Such a creative, fun way to write spelling words 3x each! (My daughter Leah [Avitabile] enjoyed it also!)

niknotes: Jack resists writing his spelling words so much usually that I used a successful trick I tried last year, which was to write a little story with blanks for spelling words (three times each). I didn't even mix them up this time. The first three blanks in the story were all for the first spelling word, next three blanks for the next spelling word, and so on. Not the best composition, but Jack actually jumped at the chance to fill in the blanks with his spelling words three times each. I asked if he preferred practicing his spelling words this way rather than just writing them three times each, and he couldn't have been more enthusiastic. So I guess that'll be my homework each week. The story was about a monster chasing a little brother. I left the ending for Jack to write but had lead up really to a happy ending, where the monster was just giving the little brother something, good presumably, instead of gobbling him up, but when Jack finished the sentence, it read: "But the monster gave him ... A BLAST OF POISON!" He drew a picture to go along with it, and I'm just glad that he did draw the little brother crouching in a ditch to escape the poison, not being overcome by it.

jacknotes: Davin wrote down his phone number. [and gave it to Jack]
