Second Term Spelling  

     Our spelling for second term will focus and word parts -- prefixes and suffixes -- and commonly used words that include those word parts.  We'll work with one word part at a time, along with spelling the example words on the chart, with a test every week or so.

The Word Parts Poem

     If you have a base word and you happen to find

     something in front or something behind --

     a prefix begins: a suffix ends,

     and that is the basic rule, my friends.

 

Book-of-the-Month 

This time the book-of-the-month will be a "book-of-the-months."  For November and December you will read another novel -- again in a different genre, or at least a different author than the books you have read for September and October.  Remember that it should be at least 100 pages long, a novel, and preferably close to your reading level -- 100 points below to 50 points above.  See Skyward -- the note on your score for taking the SRI -- for your lexile level.
