Suffixes/Root Words/Synonyms/Multi-meaning Words/Words in Context/Comprehension

Students have been working on Suffixes (word parts added at the end of words), root words (base words), Synonyms (words that are not exactly spelled the same but have similar meanings), Context Clues (Looking at words in the sentence to provide clues for the correct word) and reading passages that are followed by comprehensive questions---plot events, conclusions and detailed character sketches!

AR Points Update

Students have their current total for AR points today (for current points during the second nine weeks). It is a form that needs to be signed and returned tomorrow. Students need to have points by November 13. Please encourage your child to read thirty minutes every night. They have a reading log that they are keeping and needs to be signed every night.

Students are practicing taking comprehension tests to identify chronological order (sequencing) and details plus multiple choice (synonyms/antonyms) questions to hone their skills when taking different assessments.
