SECRET WORD: 
The secret word is "VERB."  We have been learning that verbs show action--"A verb is a word, it's an action word." Have your child write the word "VERB" and draw a picture of someone doing a verb (running, walking, dancing, throwing, etc).  Place the verb picture in your child's blue folder and s/he will receive a treat.  Also, check out the verb video posted on the top, right hand side of the blog.  It is one of their favorites!!!
