Whether the Weather?

Ms. MIM has arrived just in time for Halloween! She loves words with Many Interesting Meanings!

The Owls went for a walk in the rainy weather. They had to decide whether to take the umbrellas.

       Which should they choose? They did not take a witch along--only Montessori children!

                  Wait a minute!  Weather and whether??? Witch and which???  HOMOPHONES!

A homophone is one of two or more words that are pronounced alike but different in spelling and meaning.

The Owls walked to the playground. Two children shared one umbrella. Ms. Canter went too.

 Then it was time for Reading Buddies!  Second grade read  books to M II and M III. One was red!

Some fish were blue, but the no wind blew under the sea.  At least, we did not see it!

Ms. MIM taught us that we can find HOMONYMS too! Homonyms are two or more words that are spelled and pronounced alike but have different meanings--like school, present, jam, swing...

Meet Ms. MIM!

                                             Balls are a ball of fun!

                                             These bars are not granola bars!

                                              In the fall the leaves fall.

                                                 Two sons enjoy the sun.  

Whether in the wagon...

           ... or while playing with dump trucks, the playground is fun in all kinds of weather.
