The root words we have been using for the past week are below. We will also be using these words to read and build challenge words this week.
The challenge words, using the root words, that we have shared in class include:
We will be building words, pausing lessons to discuss words we have found, and adding these words to our personal dictionaries. Please help me at home and practice these root words with me, as well as point them out when you see them in your house or your community. Our Extra Big Word is:
Students are not expected to spell the two extra big words, but students do need to understand them and explain what these words mean. These words are connected to our Help-A-Thon which starts on Monday, December 6, 2015. Thank you! Students and Teacher of Room 5 Did you know 41% of the people who use the Calgary food bank are children?
On December 1 the grade one and grade five students are launching an Edgemont school food bank drive to support the Mayor's food drive. We are hoping to raise enough food to “Fill the Foyer” of the school and will then donate the food to the Calgary Food bank. Our food drive will run from Dec. 1 to Dec. 15. Your donation of a healthy, non-perishable food item helps a child grow and stay healthy. Donating items that are found in the Canada Food Guide (click the link) is a great idea and the food bank is especially in need of peanut butter and pasta. When you bring your donation to class, your teacher will give you a small card so that you can write about why you chose to donate. These will be displayed along with the collected food. Think about your donation, if you wouldn’t eat it, don’t donate it. Thank you for making a difference and donating to those who need it most. Thank you for your donations! -Written by the students in Rm.25- The root words we have been using for the past week are below.

We will be building words, pausing lessons to discuss words we have found, and add these words to our classroom walls. Please help me at home practice these root words, and help me see and use them in more challenging words. Our Extra Big Word is:
Students are not expected to write or read this word but we will be using it to create smaller words, and understand what it means as we write fiction bee stories in class. In our stories some of our characters may be anthropomorphic so we thought it would be a good idea to understand what it means. Thank you! Students and staff of Room 5 |
