Homophones

This week we have been looking at Homophones.
These are words that sound the same but have different spelling and different meanings.

Some examples are...

bare - bear heard - herd blew - blue

Can you think of any other ones???

Week 6 Poem

My New Pet

I asked my father for a pet.
He said, “I’ll take you shopping.”
My father took me to a store
where animals were hopping.

He asked me, “Which one do you like?”
So I picked out a puppy,
a parakeet, a rabbit,
plus a gerbil and a guppy.

I also picked a monkey
and a yellow Siamese cat,
a turtle, snake, and lizard,
plus a very big white rat.

My dad said, “If you want a pet,
then you will have to feed it.”
Instead, I picked a storybook.
I cannot wait to read it.

Week 5 Poem

All My Great Excuses

I started on my homework,
but my pen ran out of ink…
My hamster ate my homework…
My computer’s on the blink…

I tripped and dropped my homework
in the soup my mom was cooking…
My brother flushed it down the toilet
when I wasn’t looking…

My mother ran my homework
through the washer and the dryer…
An airplane crashed into our house…
My homework caught on fire…

Tornadoes blew my notes away…
Volcanoes rocked our town…
My books were taken hostage
by an evil killer clown…

Some aliens abducted me…
I had a shark attack…
A pirate swiped my homework
and refused to give it back…

I worked on these excuses
so long my teacher said,
“I think you’ll find it’s easier
to do the work instead.”
