Periods 3, 6, & 8 Word of the Week: bumbershoot

This week, periods 3, 6, and 8 selected bumbershoot as their word of the week.  When we looked up the word, we found that it is another name for an umbrella.  We theorized that perhaps it is a slang word from another country, perhaps England, since none of us had heard the word before outside of movies set in Britain.

Each class wrote a sentence using the word bumbershoot:

1. Yes, it was a fine day for a bumbershoot because it was raining cats and dogs.
2. I didn't have my bumbershoot today, so I got wet.
3. My mum told me to bring a bumbershoot because it was raining.
