Did you know courteous is a synonym of polite? Today I was so impressed with the afterschool 3rd/4th grade class! I gave them some synonym/antonym dominoes and they worked hard to put them together. When they got stuck, they decided to find the dictionaries and the thesaurus and really got stuck into solving the puzzle with no help or prompting from me. And they did it all 100% correctly. It was so difficult too!
