Unit 2 Week 5 Suffixes Spelling Test

Can you LOCATE your child in this group?  This week's spelling list focused on suffixes.  We learned how suffixes, a letter or group of letters added to the END of the ROOT word, can change the meaning.  We know THINKING ABOUT the MEANING of the WORD can help with our understanding of the text!!!

Suffixes:  -ness (state of being or quality)        - ly (like)


example:   weakness (state of being WEAK)        quickly (moving QUICK like)  

                 -less (lack of)                                      -ful  (full of)
example:   careless (lack of CARE)                      beautiful  (full of BEAUTY)

            -est  ( superlative of adjectives and adverbs)

example: greatest ("most" great)

Random Act of Kindness for 4S Students

4S STUDENTS were BLESSED with a random act of kindness FROM the Carriage Center in Newton.  Residents from the Carriage Center purchased gloves and hats for the students.  They KNEW our students would BENEFIT from new gloves & hats.  The STUDENTS were THRILLED and in AWE that someone that didn't know them would do such a KIND DEED!

RACKO!!! A fun way to learn Math!!!

 

Racko is one of 4S students NEW favorites.  It is a game that involves GREATER than and LESS THAN,  STRATEGIZING, and a LITTLE luck!

• Each student is dealt 10 cards that they MUST place in their HOLDER in the order they are dealt.  NO REARRANGING allowed!
• Then the LITTLE LUCK and strategizing comes into play.  The students must decide where to place their NEW CARDS that are drawn or rejected by their opponents.
• Once they are LUCKY enough to have ALL of their cards arranged from lowest to highest (bottom to top). They say the word "RACKO".
