Mrs. Lee's Literacy Lovers
- C. S. Lewis
Well, it's the last week before fall break! YAY! I think everyone is in need of a little R&R. Next week is Red Ribbon Week, so SMS will be participating in dress-up days. Monday is "Wear red from your head to your toes. We'll take the pledge to say no." So, students need to wear all the red that they can. A full list of days will be coming home on the newsletter Monday. This week in reading, we will be focusing on the nonfiction text structure of compare and contrast. We will also identify the meanings of words using their Greek and Latin prefixes. In language, we will focus on singular and plural nouns. Spelling words will contain inflectional endings. Spelling Words: sloped, stifling, marveled, sipped, encouraged, permitting, orbiting, credited, labored, patrolling, referred, regretting, totaled, unraveling, uttered, reviving, surrounding, accused, confiding, hovered Vocabulary aspiring - seeking to accomplish a goal foundation - the basis on which something is developed preceded - something that came before something else principal - the most important part of something promote - to help an idea grow or progress restrict - to limit or confine something speculation - ideas or discussion about why something has happened or might happen withstood - to have resisted or held out against something Helpful Links Prefix Matching game Compare and Contrast YouTube Video- will use in class this week Name That Text Feature (short video) Link to several Compare and Contrast games Gulp The Plural game As always, thanks for visiting! :) ~ Mrs. Lee
