Students in Ms. DeLass's and Mr. McGill's Language Arts classes (groups 1-4) will have a Spellcheck over the Sort 10 words from Words Their Way on Monday, January 23. We have had these words assigned since Friday, January 13.
The sort is related to base words which have the suffix -ation added to them (base words which end both with consonants and silent e). This set of words helps to demonstrate how base words which are verbs can be made into nouns by adding suffixes. We have been working on the spelling and the usage of these words in writing. Homework has been assigned nightly, and all of it is due on Monday once we begin the Spellcheck.
More practice in this area can be found on the Garrison Mill Web Links Notebook.
