Tele- Tuesday

Thank you Audrey F, for providing us with today's title. I was going for Missed Out on Magic Monday Tuesday. Max's gave me " the look" commenting, "That doesn't make sense. It doesn't even have a T."  Max, you are right.

Today we are spending more time with word roots, or stems.   We are using "magic squares" to showcase our learning.   What is a magic square? I can't tell you. It's magic. Kids will be bringing them home this evening, so you can see for yourselves.

 Magic Squares will contain 10 entries. The entries are a combination of roots and vocabulary words. All kids must use this week's roots: spec-, tele-, vis-, and struct-.  They may then choose to add this week's vocabulary words, or add more root words.  Most kids are choosing to work with atleast 2-3 vocabulary words. Kids who are feeling confident with this week's list will supplement with more root words.


This evening at home...

• work on your Magic Squares. You should have 6 or more finished.
• complete the Readers Notebook reading response pages that go with Antarctic Journey. pp 157 and 158
• study for tomorrow's Chapter 5 Math test. We finished reviewing today.
