Getting to the Root of Words: Growing Strong in Vocabulary Camp: Part 2

In this 4 day vocabulary camp, we will explore common Greek and Latin root words, practice their meanings with fun activities, and learn how to apply this knowledge to deciphering unknown words.  #academic

Each class, we will focus on 1-2 specific root words.  Students will be provided instruction on the root word(s), will create a word family using related words, and will have an opportunity to practice using each root's meaning in multiple ways (handouts, verbal discussion, chat discussion, annotation, games, drawing, etc.).

As the teacher, I will provide direct instruction with immediate feedback and encouragement as we practice.  I strive to engage each child at their level and keep them active and involved throughout the session.

NOTE:  Camps can be taken in any order or as a stand-alone class!  Each camp will offer 4 NEW Greek/Latin root words to study.
Root words covered are different in each camp.
