-We continued to read from pages 206 - 209 in the literacy text book. Copies of the "rat" story from the newspaper article in your text book were passed out for students to try and summarize. Then we had students check their work against what other students thought was important. Did you all highlight the same parts of the story? Why or why not? Tomorrow, we will be continuing the summarization process after we go through the spelling bee information.

-Greek Morphemes are small parts of words handed down to us from the ancient Greeks that have meaning in and of themselves. Pyro, Ectomy, Naut, Astro, etc. If you know what the roots of the words mean in the original Greek (and/or Latin) you can dissect the words so they make sense - even if you've never seen them before.
-We'll be doing one of these lists every week, and will just keep a running total. The goal is to help you with your college entrance exams.
