In this one-time class, students will have fun listening to the book "The Bass Plays the Bass and Other Homographs" by Gene Barretta. The all-animal touring music festival Zoola Palooza has come to town! This book is filled with examples of homographs (words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently and have different meanings) while showing all the funny animals in the music festival. After the story, we will play an interactive homograph game, where the students get to control the screen using their computer mouse or touchpad. Then we will make a fish, or bass, full of homographs. The students will use homographs from the story to create the cute "bass who plays the bass" craft. This class is great for children who are just learning about homographs, or to provide extra practice for learners who already know about homographs. Let's get ready to learn!
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of homographs. They will also be able to listen to a story and share homographs from the story. Students will get to practice using homographs during an interactive game. Finally, students will be able to read and draw homographs for the craft.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I'm Teacher Shannon! I have taught 2nd grade for 24 years. I've taught both Gifted and Regular Education. I was a substitute teacher for 2 years working with Early Childhood students as well as older elementary students. My passion is reading! I love Children's Literature and I have even co-taught college level students on "What's New In Children's LIterature?" for the last 10 years. What drives me as a teacher is to have a fun, safe, interactive classroom while embracing lots of quality literature. I want kids to love reading as much as I do and to have fun learning! And maybe make a craft or two along the way!Reviews
