What a great start to the year! Grade 4/5/6 have been super busy getting to know their brand new teacher and our hot off the press spelling program ‘Word Origins’. Word Origins is a lot of fun as it provides students with opportunities to explore where words have come from and how they can change over time. Each day our class learns a new word and we spend time learning the morphemes that make up that word as well as learning the definition of our daily spelling word. During our literacy time we have our daily spelling focus, we read and the students also complete some narrative writing tasks. The book that the students are reading is called ‘Wonder’ and it is keeping us amused as well as helping us with our daily writing.
