Another Week Bites the Dust

This week we:
-did 2 days of DOL (3A and 3B) and handed those in
-should have gotten through Ch. 1-3 of The Giver (unless you're in A3 -- we only got halfway through Chapter 2)
-after reading/listening to these chapters, we discussed major characters and the plot thus far
-you handed in another Reading Record
-you handed in Vocab Lesson 2
-you took Vocab Test 2
-you started Vocab Lesson 3

For homework you should be finishing your Reading Records and completing your Vocab Lesson 3. You should be constantly studying these new words.

The new vocab words are:

-aptitude (meaning a natural talent or ability)

-crescendo (usually used as a musical term, but it means to get louder in volume)

-acquisition (this one is a tricky one, but it is similar to the word acquire. Acquire means to get something, so acquisition means something we have acquired. Acquisition is a noun. An example in a sentence: If I bought a new cd, that would be my new acquisition.)

-solemn (meaning to be serious)

-exempt

-obsolete

-tentative (meaning subject to change)

-concentration

-deprive

-ignorant

Don't forget to call your grandparents on Sunday, it's Grandparents Day!
Have a great weekend.
