Halloween Parts of Speech

 In 1-Thomson, we've been adding some Fall and Halloween twists to our learning!  This week for "word work" our focus was on nouns and adjectives. We started  by creating a list of Halloween nouns--people, places, and things! Then, we worked together to create a spooky Halloween "Noun Town" full of ghosts, black cats, haunted houses, vampires, bats, pumpkins, and more! 

Next, we learned all about adjectives and how they can make our writing more descriptive.  We practiced using adjectives in pumpkin poetry, and then we ended our study of adjectives by creating and writing about our own perfect pumpkins.  Some were funny, some were mad, others were small, and some were scary!  Have a look at our pumpkin patch!
