Another Class Assignment
As the class settled in for another day filled with various lessons, Ms. Frogster told everyone to put their books away as they were going to do something a bit different again today. She then handed a stack of papers to Frogella and instructed her to hand one to each student. Once this had been done, Ms. Frogster explained to the class what they were to do with the strange looking list they were given.
"Class, you will see that you have a list of several different words that seem to be missing letters. At the top of the list, you will find a clue for each word. Once you have filled in the missing letters, you will then see what these words have in common besides having a pair of double letters in each word. This will complete today's assignment. If everyone is ready, let's get set and begin!"
