Routines are starting to take shape and we have begun to add more meat on the bones of our day to day. Some key things we would like to point out this week are: Spelling : This week we are looking at the prefix of ‘di’, ‘du’ and ‘bi’. This prefix gives the meaning of 2. Examples: “di” - diverge “du” - duet “bi” - bicycle IT Agreements : these will be discussed this week in class.
