Vocabulary Word of the Day:  inundate (verb) – This word means to flood or overwhelm someone with too much of something.  What are three things you could inundate your parents with to make them lose their temper?

I am so happy to be back in the classroom with you guys!! Being sick is yucky. Being in a workshop is good BUT I would much rather be with y'all.  Today is Reader's Workshop. During SSR, I am going to be conducting our first reading conferencing. I can't wait to hear about all of the books y'all are reading. After SSR, we are going to read All Summer In A Day, written by Ray Bradbury.  This is one of my all time favorite short stories!! How do you summarize a text? We are going to practice using All Summer In A Day.  

Reminders: Metaphor Poem is due Thursday.
