Amanda is signed up to take the SAT and so now is a good time for us all to begin focusing more on vocabulary development. There's a great site that introduces root words and I think it would serve as a great homework activity. At the end of the week we could test on the words learned that week.

(Reading 7.01 - Latin and Greek Roots, Reading 8.01 - Context Clues and Root Words)
Go down the page to where it says "ject" in blue. Click on that and do the activity for those words on night one. The next night, click on "pre" and the following night, click on the next one. If you choose to handwrite your work, I suggest turning your paper sideways. If you choose to type or email your work, then I'd encourage you to write a sentence using the word instead of drawing a picture.
Please post a comment when you've completed the first night's homework. This way I'll know you figured it out or I'll know I need to explain something more. Also, how does a test on Friday sound?
