Monday Homework

No video tonight!

Students do have vocabulary homework but it isn't due until Wednesday.

Help them study though!

We are learning the Greek word parts -cycl which means "circle" and -meter which means "measure."

Learning the ancient roots of words helps students understand the often confusing English language better because our language is one of the only ones that "borrows" from other languages.

By recognizing that cycl in a word has something to do with the word "circle" and that meter has something to do with "measure" students are better prepared to comprehend the meaning of many words they may encounter in their reading.
