For those of you smarties who have conquered your Vocabulary goals, here's a little fun activity for  ya!  SILENTLY find a partner.  Now QUIETLY work together to fill out the Wacky Web Tale of your choice.  If you are stumped, there is a Parts of Speech Help button that you can use.

Do a couple, and then when you find one that really makes you laugh, feel free to print it out to take home today.  :-)

If you get LOUD, you'll be asked to work alone.  Don't let that happen!

If you do a couple and decide that you're done, you may quietly work on your own on any of the KEYBOARDING activities below (scroll WAAAYYYYYY down).

ENJOY!!

Last, we will head to our Google Docs to create our own "I Have a Dream" speeches.  Need some inspiration?  Check out some kid-created poems HERE.

Use what Mrs. Cain taught you about creating a Venn Diagram in a Google Doc to compare and contrast what you observed.  How are the scenes alike? How are they different?
