Our root word for Tuesday was psych, which means soul, spirit, mind. The three sample words were: psychology, psychobiography, and antipsychotic. We pointed out all of the previous root words that make up the example words such as log – study of, bio- life, and graph – to write or something written.

Today our root word was sci and means know. Not no, but know. Of course we all suggested science as our first example word. Mrs. Scales played around with confusing words using conscience and conscious as the other two example words. Conscience means knowing wrong from right while conscious means knowing what is happening.

We had time in class to review the lesson plans and work on our literary circle third chunk forums. Our Twain projects were turned in today.
