We started talking about Onomatopoeia’s at the dinner table. The kids thought the word was hysterical, and Scott started talking about the old Batman & Robin television shows that would always blast a big word on the screen for when a bad guy got Thwacked, or Popped or Kazoomed. That’s exactly what I was going to show them!
Then we read some Poetry from the What Your Third Grader Needs to Know book, and picked out any onomatopoeia’s as we saw them.
