(your own pair of homophones) _________ / ________ This is a different kind of list this week. Practice each word pair 3 times. Example: "clothes, clothes, clothes/ close, close, close." Also, let's skip the definitions this week. Write good, clear example sentences that show you know the difference between each pair. Use the Dictionary to help. Each pair can be combined into 1 sentence if you can. Example: "She came around the bend, and got her first peek at Wheeler Peak." Or they can be split into 2 sentences. Example: "Please close the door when you leave. He loved his new school clothes." The list is up, and ready to practice at Vocabulary A-Z.

You've found it, Mr. Bonner's Blog! This is my very first foray into this realm of communication, so check back for more soon as I start to figure it all out. It's my plan to use this space to post weekly spelling lists, math assignments, project information, announcements, and educational links. Students, if you read this post, tell me the secret code: "Prime Meridian," in a whisper the next time you see me in class. That way I'll know you were here. Parents, if you're able to find this, please post a comment to let me know i'ts working. And I'm always looking for worthwhile educational links for kids. Share your links with me and I'll post them here. Also, bookmark this link into your computer so you can check back. If students and parents are using this blog, I'll update the posts on a weekly basis. Como siempre, Mr. Michael Bonner
