Words of the Week

Each week we select a word of the week to add to our word work notebooks. The students have eaten this up! Words such as conversation, congested, and magnetic have be selected. Students break the words into syllables and try to spell each part. We know that each syllable has to contain a vowel. We focus on finding the base word, suffix, definition, and synonyms. Our favorite suffix(ending) by far is "tion." Your child may tell you that it's an oddball because it really sounds like = shun.
