Word Work – 5th Grade ELA

Today we reviewed antonyms and synonyms and learned two new words: homograph & homophone.

We talked about the bases of each word (graph & phone) and the prefix of both (homo) to figure out what each word meant. It was really awesome to apply our SWI skills to the vocabulary words!

The kids were excited to think of as many homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently) and homographs (words that are spelled the same but have different meaning) they could. Many even asked if they could brainstorm more over the weekend! I’m excited to hear/see what they come up with!

On Monday we will play a fun game to review these ideas!

Shabbat Shalom
