Vivid Vocabulary

Hello!

Today was a great day! We have started writing groups and we are getting ready to start Reciprocal Teaching groups next week! Yeah! I am really happy with the progress the students have been making...

Tonight's homework is to write a "Spelling Story" with eight of the words we are working on this week. (Spelling is a misnomer, we are really working of learning new vocabulary words.) The words this week fall into four distinct groups:

Un- words: Unopened, unread, unheated, unattached, unplanned, and unglued
Re- words: Repackage, reinstall, reconsider, reaction, reform, and reassure
Dis- words: Discontinue, distrust, disorder, disengage, disease, and disclose
Mis- words: Misfortune, mislead, misconduct, misplace, misstep, and mistake

Cheers,
Miss Klein

(If the students use more than eight of the vocabulary words, they will get a BAM Buck.)

HI Miss Klein,

Kaya wrote down a mystery word on her homework list today. The second word looks like"discoduct" and has the meaning of "to reveal information." Could you please let us know what the word is?

Thanks! Edi and Kaya
