Dead Word Celebration!

Students from Mrs. Donnelly and Mrs. Jenkins' classes learned how to add more concrete details to their writing by replacing over used words with synonyms they found in a thesaurus. Headstones were made to "bury" the DEAD or over used words. Their dead word graveyard is hanging outside room 44. This activity was followed by a dead word celebration where students decorated headstone cookies and enjoyed a well earned treat.
