Today in Language Arts students turned in their weekly pages tally from the past week, along with a reading response. Students took a vocabulary/spelling quiz on their RE- root words and received their eight vocabulary words for the week. This week's vocab words are:
SUPER- above, over, more
1. superior-adj- of high rank, quality or importance
2. supernatural-adj- beyond what is natural
3. supercilious-adj-overly proud
4. superhuman-adj- having powers beyond normal humans
5. superfluous-adj- running over, extra or extravagant
6. superficial-adj- of or relating to the surface, shallow
7. supervise-v- to watch from above
8. superintendent-n- one who has executive power and is in charge
In Social Studies, we talked about what is expected for the personal culture project presentations this Thursday and Friday. Students will be graded as both presenters and as listeners. As presenters, students will be graded on eye contact, voice, poise, posture and knowledge. We spent time modeling good and bad examples of this in class. We also spent time preparing notecards with what we'd like to say during our presentations. As listeners, students will be graded on their ability to listen attentively to the presentations and to give feedback. We practiced giving feedback in class.
HOMEWORK: Students will do the "picture" portion of their root word study sheet with the new SUPER vocab words. Students will finish their culture projects and prepare for project presentations.
OTHER NEWS: Tomorrow is picture day. Be sure to come in bright colors and wear your smile!
