Unit 26 Spelling: Words with Prefixes
Week of December 11 - 15, 2023
This week, we are reviewing fiction elements and analyzing plots in fiction traditional literature stories.
We will have spelling this week, Unit 15. Those on the UIL Spelling Team, who are studying Weeks Six and Seven, will need to write 30 of their words each evening of the week to prepare for their spelling test on Friday.
Students are expected to read their 30 minutes each evening to continue building their fluency and comprehension by reading for sustained periods of time. They are working on reading goals in A/R, and they receive certificates and prizes every three weeks for their progress, so they need to continue reading each evening all school year.
