Root Words
In Reading class and RtI Reading, we will be focusing on using root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Students looked up the meaning of Latin roots and prefixes this week. They were then given five vocabulary words. Then they made flash cards, drew pictures of the definition of the words, and wrote sentences using the new vocabulary words. Next week they will take a quiz on the definition of the words and on their spelling.

WOW
W.O.W. (Widen Our World) day was amazing! The students got to pick something they wanted to learn and then today they learned about their topic and presented their final products. I was in Ms. Hopkinson's room where 3 groups of students were choreographing their own dances, one group was frosting a cake, another was making a city out of food, and yet another was learning how to juggle. Everyone put forth a lot of effort to make this day such a success. We look forward to doing it again next year!

Radio Show
Radio Show
During this unit you will be creating an old radio show. After listening to some old radio shows and seeing what they are like, you will get into groups of 3 and create your own radio show.
Your group will need to come up with a story for your radio show. You will need to write out a script that includes sound effects and music clips for transitions. Everyone in your group needs to have a role.
You will need to perform your radio show. You may record the show on your own, or you may perform the show live. This means you will have to practice your show, and you will have to bring any props you need to class the day of your performance.
On the day of the performance you will turn in your script with a cover sheet. Your cover sheet is worth two points and must include the title of your show, author, and the cast of characters.
