Write with your imagination! Look at the picture of soaking wet Claudette. What could have happened for her to get soaking wet like that? Whatever it was it also made her angry - crazy angry which means she was very mad! Was it a boy, a car, something imaginary? Did she fall into something very wet? In your mind ponder what it was and write about what happened to her.

Last week we did some work using our ‘words in context’ strategy. You may have noticed they all made the long vowel /a/ sound. Remember words with a long vowel sound always have a helper, for these words it was the silent ‘e’ at the end.

Today we’re going to write these words into sentences to make sure we know what they mean and to practice writing them. Don’t forget the ‘e’ at the end! After that we’re going to add endings to them. Working with -ing, -ed and -s think about what happens to the silent e at the end. If we add -s it makes it plural - more than one. But if we were to add -ing or -ed then there’s two vowels walking together and that will change the word. So the rule is drop the ‘e’ and add -ing or -ed. When we add -ed to a word it means it happened in the past or before right now. But remember this is English and there’s rules and there’s rules that break the rules or some just are unique. Words like make are an altogether different word: Today I can make cookies but yesterday I made cookies for us all. Listen to see if the word makes sense or if you have heard something different. Remember your mind knows so many words it can tell if things aren’t right!

Today we’re going to look at a section from a newspaper called the classified ads. The Drumheller Mail still has these (or now there are websites that post similar) ads.

People who need to get rid of things and people who want things can connect through the ads. Today’s section is all about animals! If I could convince Mr. Kolm I needed a pet I would search through these ads to find one.

When people read these ads they need to think about what kind of animal they want, how much money they have to spend on a pet or whether they want a girl or boy pet and other things.

Your job is to read the advertisements and then answer the multiple choice questions. Read carefully - don’t get fooled! Remember the long answer questions often need more than one item.
