Some new additions to the classroom library...and "our "is the focus for spelling

Here are a lovely mix of "new" rescued books to our classroom bookshelves. I can recommend Ten True Animal Rescues as I only just finished this one on Mothers' Day. Rotten Romans is pretty informative too and delivered in a humorous way.

This week's spelling focus is our words and these will be tested on Friday. Tonight's homework is to complete the unit which has these words as the focus.  Here are the words:

odour, labour,armour, behaviour, harbour, neighbour,

colour, parlour, flavour, humour, rumour, clamour, favourite, endeavour,courteous, scourge,journal,  journey

glamour, honour

These are also the focus for the daily Spelling Bingo games.

More Books for Our Classroom Library

So excited these two books finally came from Fishpond about animals in warfare. I will show the students tomorrow. I also watched the Blu Ray of War Horse. It is an M rating but if any parent wants to borrow it from me and watch it with their son/daughter just let me know.

Also, the following books are new to our little classroom library. I have read the majority of the books on the shelves and there is a blog that goes with the Little Library of Rescued Books.

I try to collect authors where possible so children can read a whole series of books from the one author. I notice that Cathy Cassidy is pretty popular withe the girls and I have been encouraging students to read some of Colin Thiele's books.
