We start first with relocations. 10milion Native Americans lived in America before European colonizers learned about it.  When the colonizers arrived they signed a law to remove Native Americans from the land they lived on which forced the Natives to relocate in a major movement known as the Trail of Tears.

During the Trail of Tears many Native Americans died from disease, malnutrition and bad weather. They were forced to walk many miles and as many as 4000 people died.

Do you know who the Native Americans are? This month was recently recognized out of respect to these people.

These are the indigenous people that lived on the continent before the European settlers came and took over. The settlers (now known as Americans) took the land of the Natives and pushed them out.

This month we will learn a little about their culture and history.

-able	Able to, having the quality of	Comfortable, portable
-ible	Making an adjective (describing word)	Reversible, terrible

Yesterday you learned what a root is, but what about the rest?

A prefix is a group of letter placed before the root of a word. A root is the smallest word with a meaning.

Ex: Unhappy. Un- (means not) and Happy is the root. Combined, “unhappy” means “not happy”.

Prefix	Meaning	Example
Un-	Not, opposite	Undo, Unusual, Unequal
Pre-	Before	Prehistory
Mis-	Bad, wrong	Mislead, misplace
Il-	Not	Illegal, illogical
In-	Not, without	Inaction, invisible
Ex-	Away from, former	Exhale, explosion

Finding new words can be hard, but knowing roots, prefixes, and suffixes can help you understand the meaning of an unknown word. But first what is a root?

A root is the smallest part of the word that has meaning. Use Smallest, for example. The root is "Small" words like Happy, Find, Mean, Known. Those are roots, they are the base of a word.
