Make noise words

For the past 2 days, the girls have been learning about words that "make noise" (aka words that make a sound).  Today, we read Night Noises by our Author of the Month, Mem Fox.  We brainstormed all of the different "make noise" words she used in her book.

 
After we brainstormed the words she used, we also came up with a few on our own.  The girls put 5 of those words into a step book and illustrated different ways to make the sound.


 
After they completed their book, we put them into pairs so they could share their work.

 
Next week we will start a new book during our Writer's Workshop period where the girls will have to use their new found knowledge of "make noise" words in their writing piece.
