Read each word to students and have them place a check in one of the three
columns: Know (know and can use); Have Seen (have heard or seen the word;
don't know meaning); Don't Know (don't know the word).
Activate Prior Knowledge
Have students share where they may have seen some of these words. Point
out that three of this week's words have a suffix (excitement, gardener, sadness).
Discuss with students how the suffix changes the meaning of the base word.
