Helpful activities for your child to do include: spelling the words orally, writing sentences using the words, or simply copying the words. Spelling Words This week, we will be reviewing the spellings of r-controlled vowels. Your child learned to read and spell words with r-controlled vowels in first and second grades, so this should be a review. On Friday, your child will be assessed on these words. Students have been assigned two Challenge Words, above and beginning, to spell this week. Remember that Challenge Words do not follow spelling patterns and need to be memorized. New this week is the introduction of a Content Word. The Content Word for this week is Mediterranean. This word is directly related to the material that we are reading. The Content Word is an optional spelling word for your child. If your child would like to try spelling it but gets it wrong, it will not count against him or her on the assessment. We encourage everyone to stretch themselves a bit to try to spell this word. Unit 4 3 © 2013 Core Knowledge Foundation The spelling words, including the Challenge Words and the Content Word, are listed below: 1. tarnish 12. sword 2. marbles 13. messenger 3. portion 14. barbecue 4. motor 15. giraffe 5. circulate 16. slurp 6. servant 17. sir 7. turkey 18. mirth 8. doctor 19. Challenge Word: above 9. worship 20. Challenge Word: beginning 10. surgery Content Word: Mediterranean 11. immortal Student Reader This week, we start our new unit about ancient Rome. In this unit, your child will read Stories of Ancient Rome, which includes information about the history of Rome, legends, Roman gods and goddesses, myths, powerful rulers, and wars, as well as the rise of Christianity. Mrs. Teachwell is the narrator who will be guiding your child through the information, some of which is fiction and some nonfiction, as your child learns many new and exciting facts about a very old civilization. Be sure to ask your child each evening about what he or she is learning. This week, your child will be reading about how Rome was built on the banks of the Tiber River, the legend of Romulus and Remus, and about Roman gods and goddesses. Students will bring home text copies of the chapters in the reader throughout the unit. Encouraging students to read a text directly related to this domain-based unit will provide content and vocabulary reinforcement. Please remind your child that the copy of the glossary they brought home today can be used to find the meaning of the bolded words. 4 Unit 4 © 2013 Core Knowledge Foundation Name: 1.3 Take-Home Worksheet Rome, Then and Now “This is Rome,” said Mrs. Teachwell, pointing to a black dot on the classroom map. “But this is Rome too,” she added, as she traced a circle that was so large it seemed to touch all four sides of the map.
