We continue with our reading of the story By the Shores of Silver Lake this week.  This week we will continue to focus on asking ourselves quesions as we read to help us better understand what we read.  We will also be focusing on details in what we read.  We will be learning about word roots and homophones. Our spelling words are homophones and are as follows.
