Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
THIS IS AN ASYNCHRONOUS CLASS. THERE ARE NO SCHEDULED MEETING TIMES. STUDENTS WILL WATCH THE RECORDED CLASSES AT A TIME THAT WORKS BEST FOR THEM. 

If you have earned your Vocabulary Supersleuth badges from the first and second sessions of Vocabulary Supersleuths, you are prepared to continue solving the mysteries of words! In this follow-up class, you will learn a whole new set of roots, along with a few prefixes. We will use the roots from the first class, as well as our new roots, to determine the meanings of words.

Students will write the roots and accompanying information on a set of note cards. They will add these note cards to their binder from the previous classes. By the end of the session, they will have a nice resource to refer back to. 

Each class will follow the same general format. At the beginning of each class, I will review the roots from previous weeks before diving into our new content. Each week we will study 2-4 Greek and Latin roots. The roots we study each week will all be related. I will introduce 2-3 vocabulary words. This is where the detective work comes in! The students try to guess the root and meaning of the root. During some of the lessons, I will introduce a challenging word.  I will show the students how to dissect each of these words so they can figure out the meaning of these new words based on the roots they know.

There will be a print-out for each lesson. Please print it out, and use it during class. Students can fill out the information on the print-out, then cut it out, and glue it onto the notecards. The students will need one notecard per root. They will use colored pencils to add information to each notecard so they can quickly locate the information they need. 

Each notecard will have the following information:
- root
- origin (Greek or Latin)
- meaning
- words containing these roots
- pictures to help them remember the meaning
 
I will also post some games in the classroom that can be accessed via links to Nearpod and Blooket. I encourage students to participate in the games. They are a fun way to practice the meaning of the roots. They also include sentences that use the vocabulary words. By working on these roots in varying activities, students will commit them to memory and have a good understanding of each root by the end of the session.

Learning Goals

There will be some optional activities. For example, I will ask the students to be on the lookout for the roots we have studied in class. If they find one of the roots in a book they are reading, they can post it on the word wall on Nearpod to share with the other students. There will also be interactive games they can play via Nearpod and Blooket.
