Mr. Wasil’s 3rd Grade Class

This is a chance for my students to express their ideas and comments about their school lives. They may comment on how they thought the day went, if they struggled with a concept, if they liked a certain experiment or even something about their personal life that they did over the weekend. I will review their comments and post them as quick as I can. Enjoy blogging boys and girls.

Look at the below figurative language sayings.

I woke up this morning after a good night’s sleep. I felt good. The birds were chirping a good tune outside my window. I could tell it was going to be a good day. I got dressed and wore a good pair of pants and a good shirt. My shoes felt good on my feet. I dashed down to breakfast because I was really hungry. Mom’s breakfast smelled good. We had bacon and eggs, English muffins, juice and milk, a really good breakfast. Feeling good, I grabbed my books and went to school. Mom said as I left, “Have a good day!”.
