Week Four

Great job this week -- everyone is very focused and determined.
 Today in the computer lab we continued working on ways to make use of the computer to enhance our reading. We explored the KCLS library system and students who don't have cards ordered them. We put books on hold and looked at programs. Also we looked at "Mango" - a new language download offered at the library.
We also took at look at some images from last week's Quia readings to add depth to our knowledge of what we have read.
Last but not least we tried out spreeder.com - it seems that it has a lot of potential as a speed
reading tool.  In class, we scanned for words in "Mother Tongue" and looked over some ways to understand words without a dictionary.

THIS WEEK:
1.  THERE ARE FOUR QUIA ACTIVITIES for this week (Week Four). Please do them!
2. LISTEN TO AND READ the article about headaches.  We will be discussing it in class next week. Here is the link:
Headaches
3.  For fun!  Try these two activities to work on homonyms.  First, do this:
Homonyms 1
Pretty easy, right? Then, try this:
Homonyms - Speed words
Note: SPELLING CITY: If you have not completed last week's words from "Mother Tongue" please do that, print, and bring to class.
GOOD LUCK!
