HOMEWORK- Due 6 June (Friday!)

      This week you are receiving a "shorter" homework.  You are continuing your work with prefixes.  Since you have been looking at them for several weeks, you should feel very comfortable with them.  
       What is missing this week is a spelling list.  You will not be receiving one because you will be given the Spelling Bee list very soon.  We want you to seriously study that.

     The second part of your homework is to look for words with the prefixes mis-, un-, re-, and dis-.  You have three short passages that use the words.  When you come across (find) a word using one of those prefixes, you will write the word into the correct category.

HOMEWORK- Due 22 May

We have been discovering the prefixes “un” and “dis” and noticing them in texts.  By now, you should know very well how to use them.  You have also been shown a creative story using the words “fortunately” and “unfortunately.”  For you homework, write your own creative story using words with un- or dis-.  Below are your choices:

1. Write a story using the pattern fortunately/unfortunately/fortunately/unfortunately, etc.
2.  Write a story using 8 different words with dis- and/or un-.

Word bank:

fortunately/unfortunately	like/dislike	important/unimportant
tied/untied	connect/disconnect	appear/disappear
usual/unusual	agree/disagree	paid/unpaid

        

      Your second piece of homework is to study the words from the list 33.  This list was given on Thursday, 15 May but is also below.  Just like before, you are in charge of 10 of the words. Can you tell what prefix we want you to master now?
