GREEK & LATIN ROOT WORDS
Students will be learning Greek and Latin root words, their definitions, and their derivatives. Three new root words are introduced each week. Students record the information regarding these root words in a notebook provided by me. Students can take their notebooks home, however, they need to be with students at school daily. In addition, we will be practicing these words in class. About every 4-5 weeks students will be tested on all words. In addition to students recording the root words in their notebooks, I will post on line each week’s new root words that students will be responsible for learning.

How to help at home: I strongly suggest students make flashcards to help them practice.
Common Core State Standard: 5.L.4b. Use common, grade-appropriate Greek and Latin affixes and roots as clues to the meaning of a word (e.g., photograph, photosynthesis).
