Wet Wednesday

We were able to make it outside at recess today.  This is a good thing to let the kiddos get their "bee-jigities" out!

In reading today, the lesson was on Greek and Latin roots. Students have a list of the most common Greek and Latin roots found in the English language.  They picked 4 of their own vocabulary words to look at more closely that have one or more of these roots.  Students need to complete the graphic organizer titled "Words in Context" for each of the words they picked. (Due Monday)  I'm hoping by looking at these word parts students will have another strategy for figuring our unknown words in context.

In science today we worked on Paper Pets. 

Tomorrow we will be MAP testing in reading.

*The Pre-Algebra test will be May 25 and May 26*

Progress Reports went home today~
