Cook - A - Doodle - Doo! by Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel


Our book study for this week was Cook – A – Doodle –Doo written by Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel.
What is a Homonym? A Homonym is each of two words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling. Why did we study homonyms? Everything started when we read the story and the animals were making a cake. The cake needed flour so the iguana went and picked a flower. We all made our own homonyms booklets and we had some fun exploring the different meanings of homonyms. Jared was a risk taker and a thinker and he tried to share, with us, some of the homonyms that he knew. Some of the children expressed their understanding of homonyms by using    
                                                    sentences, others by using pictures to 
                    describe the different meaning. 
  
I would love to share some of your stories with the children, so please feel free to write some down, right here on the blog, if you remember of a situation like the one in our story.
