Humanities, Humanities....la la, la la la:
Today students took their vocabulary/spelling quiz over the INTER root words. They received their new root words for the week and used context clues to figure out what each new word meant. These are this week's words:
ANT, ANTI= against
CONTRA, COUNTER= against
1. antisocial-adj- not following social norms
2. antithesis-n- the complete opposite of something
3. antonym-n- a word that means the opposite
4. contradictory-adj- when 2 things seem to disagree with one another
5. counterfeit-adj- fake
6. contraband-n- illegal goods
7. contrast-v- to compare in order to point out differences
8. counterclockwise-adj- the opposite of clockwise
Miss Devine met with students individually to discuss the K-W-L charts they completed for homework. With Miss D, students selected their topic for research. Miss Devine will continue meeting with students tomorrow.
In Social Studies, students continued their Geography unit by thinking about how the movement of the earth affects world climate and seasons. They read an article entitled "Earth and the Sun" and answered the following questions:
1. What is the earth's revolution? How many days does it take?
2. What is the earth's rotation? How many hours does it take?
3. Why do we have seasons?
4. In what climate zone of the world do we live?
5. Why is it hot all year round in Honduras?
6. When it is winter in Atlanta, Georgia, it is summer in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Why?
HOMEWORK: Students need to complete vocab pictures for their new vocabulary words and they need to complete the geography article questions if they did not do so in class.
