09.16 - Reading Animal Farm, Roots and Prefixes

At the beginning of today's class we read for ten minutes in Animal Farm with everyone keeping track of the number of pages that they read in that time. This gave everyone a chance to get into the book a bit more and will help me plan pacing for future books.

We talked a little bit about doing some free choice reading after this book as well. We were interrupted by a fire drill, but when we returned we revisited our roots and prefixes work. We finished our work with the unit 1, set 1 sheet and then put our knowledge around that sheet to use with a practice sheet for the vocabulary set.

We will have a roots and prefixes quiz over this set this Thursday 9/19.

Here is the roots and prefixes work we did in class:
