The new spelling list words (Lesson Eight) went home today! The sentences on the worksheet and the entire page is to be completed by this Thursday.
Last week's spelling list words proved to be rather difficult for some of you so I am willing to allow you to take a retest this Wednesday to improve your mark. You can even earn yourself some money if you manage to get 100%! This should be easy money for most of you! By completing the worksheets you are learning the rules and practicing the correct spelling at the same time. There seemed to be a correlation between those students who didn't have the worksheet completed and the grade received on the test. In other words.... practice, practice, PRACTICE! You are to write out any spelling corrections three times each and do your math corrections from last weeks (Lesson Seven) quiz. Please have your parents sign the quiz and return it tomorrow. Thanks! Please also remember to be practicing your basic facts. Try to develop automaticity ....... so they are rolling off of your tongue! This weeks spelling words are compound words. Lesson #8 Compound Words Compound words are made up of two or more complete words. There are three types of compound words: Closed compound – the words are joined together (keyboard, notebook) Open compound – the words occur together but are not joined ( post office, full moon) Hyphenated compound – the words are separated by a hyphen (self-government, two-fifths). cupboard earring vacuum cleaner hide-and-seek single-handed motorcycle gentlemen post office two—thirds good- natured scapegoat straightforward fire extinguisher warm-blooded merry-go-round overthrow headache solar system runner-up present-day bookkeeper notwithstanding jet stream decision-making cross-pollinate
