WRITING:
We are studying Latin and Greek affixes and how they have helped to cultivate much of our language. We are learning that English is a "living language", meaning words are constantly being added to our vocabulary and words can change or are influenced by other cultures and their coinciding languages.
HOMEWORK: I forgot to pass it out...whoops! So, NONE!

Again this week, we are working with Mythology to teach the skill of comparing and contrasting. Today, we completed a top-hat organizer to compare and contrast a Greek myth to a Roman myth. These are now hanging in our hallway display :)
