SPELLING

Today in Language Arts we began by asking-- Why is English spelling so difficult? We did a brief survey of the history of the English people, and looked at the many influences on the English language. Today's lesson also introduced the students to the format for spelling or Weekly Word Study, that the students will be using this year. 

Homework: Literature; due Friday, November 12th. Read Part lll of Maniac Magee. Do your Lit Circle Job, and come prepared to discuss the novel.
