Today we reviewed and practiced Prefixes, Suffixes, and Root Words. A root is the basic part of a word that gives the word its meaning. We talked about some unusual prefixes, such as "giga" (one billion, as in "gigabyte") and "milli" (one thousand). We completed Practice workbook 34.
We also completed a practice ISAT paper about Narrative, Persuasive, and Expository passages.
Book-it is due Friday with a short book review. Our spelling review Unit 20 test will also be given on Friday. Students should be working to be prepared for these two tasks on a nightly basis. I've been encouraging them not to leave anything for the last minute.
