That must have taken a long time!<br /><br />According to Mr. Mannell, who is very, very smart, he says that spellable IS a word. Here is his post about it:<br /><br /><a href="%E2%80%9Drossmannellcomments.edublogs.org/2014/03/18/for-heathers-perfect-post-about-prefixes-and-suffixes/%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Prefixes and Suffixes</a><br /><br />Insincerely has a prefix and a suffix too.

Good job notic<b>ing</b> that there was a double P in stopp<b>ed</b>. I think the easi<b>est</b> word you creat<b>ed</b> on the page is heat<b>s</b>. Just add<b>ing</b> the S made a new word. When you said spell<b>able</b> for a second I thought it was a real word, but lucki<b>ly</b> you clarifi<b>ed</b> it. Spell<b>able</b> could mean your word is able to be spell<b>ed</b>. <br /><br />Did you notice that I bold<b>ed</b> all of the prefix<b>es</b> and suffix<b>es</b>? <b>Mis</b>spell<b>ed</b> has a prefix and a suffix.

Your post on prefixes and suffixes...Hello Heather,<br /><br />Your post on prefixes and suffixes is brilliant. I love what you have prepared to help younger children. This means you are not just a student, you are a teacher to younger children. Being able to share knowledge is a gift valuable to both the giver and receiver.<br /><br />Your post had me thinking about words and their origins, including the word "spellable". I didn't want to use a lot of space in comments but I think you know what can happen when someone writes a post making me think. Here is a post for you about "spellable", words, prefixes and suffixes...<br /><br />http://rossmannellcomments.edublogs.org/2014/03/18/for-heathers-perfect-post-about-prefixes-and-suffixes/<br /><br />Keep up the great work, Heather. Posts like yours are a treasure when I see them :)<br /><br />Ross Mannell<br />Teacher (retired), N.S.W., Australiarmannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325881715643049499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3911507353447531365.post-12745407261830386382014-03-16T12:17:14.106-07:002014-03-16T12:17:14.106-07:00@ Heather,

Mrs. Yollis has a post all about personal information. Here are some hyperlinks to the posts:<br /><br /><a href="%E2%80%9Dyollis365project.blogspot.com/2013/08/234-your-yappy.html?q=yappy%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Your YAPPY!</a><br /><br /><a href="%E2%80%9Dyollisclassblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/learning-how-to-comment.html%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Learning How to Comment</a><br /><br />I decided post this post because for grammar homework, we could either choose Webby Wednesday, or paper homework. I thought Webby Wednesday would be more interesting. Then, while we were all working on our mystery picture, Mrs. Yollis called me over. She said that you were learning about prefixes and suffixes. Mrs. Yollis said that I could probably type a post just for you to help you learn. I thought that was a perfect idea, so I did it!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />HeatherRockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783541112534653879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3911507353447531365.post-77118932737250299002014-03-14T15:04:34.776-07:002014-03-14T15:04:34.776-07:00@ Sam,
WOW! You have learned a lot of prefixes an...@ Sam,<br /><br />WOW! You have learned a lot of prefixes and suffixes in class, and you told me lots of words that include a prefix or suffix. Here are some words that you might recognize:<br /><br />Prefix: undo, remake, pretest, disorganize, misunderstood, and overdid.<br /><br />Suffix: farmer, starting, buys, useless, funniest, writable, zoomed, and playing.<br /><br />You asked me what I think classmates is, a suffix or a compound. I actually agree with your mom that it is a compound because mates is a base word, not a suffix. Class is a base word too. As you probably know, two words combined together makes a compound word. I am going to quiz you, is baseball a compound, or a prefix suffix word?<br /><br />Warmly,<br />HeatherRockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783541112534653879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3911507353447531365.post-20677239038739875372014-03-14T14:40:50.663-07:002014-03-14T14:40:50.663-07:00@ Emili,

That is all of the suffixes that we have recently this year, but last year, we learned all of the ones that you learned! <br /><br />Yes, you are correct. In helpful, help IS the base word and -ful IS the suffix.

Your blog is very helpful!<br /><br />Here are the answers to your questions:<br /><br />1. Some prefixes or suffixes that we are learning in class are: re, un, dis, er, s and ness<br /><br />2. Some words that have prefixes or suffixes are chewing, retaking, and blogging.<br /><br />3. My favorite word with a prefix or a suffix is blogging because I am doing it right now.

Out of all of the grand things tha...@ Mrs. Yollis,<br /><br />Out of all of the grand things that happened in Mrs. Chalfin's class, I think three are the most important. First, I shared the caption above the picture with them. I told them that the "word" spellable wasn't really a word. I made it up to make a point. In that paragraph, I also used some prefix or suffix words like unscramble. Second, I taught them that you had to double the P like in stoped. Mrs. Chalfin said that they had learned this before, so it was like a review! I thought that it was interesting that there was one irregular verb in there, just waiting for me to spot it! Finally, I shared my Step-up-to-Writing paragraph. I show them the green topic sentence, yellow main ideas, red details, and green conclusion. I let them read the paragraph TO me, so that they could comprehend all of the words. While they were reading, I noticed that they had a system. The person who was reading would have two St. Patrick stuffed animals on their desk. Once one person was finished, they passed it on to another person. As you can see, I had a pleasant time with Mrs. Chalfin!<br /><br />Yes, I did find some prefixes and suffixes in your comment. For example, exceedingly is one. The other few are: useful, students, learning, words, prefixes, suffixes, truly, graders, loving, and teacher. I wasn't really sure if written has a prefix or suffix. Does it have a prefix or suffix?<br /><br />Warmly,<br />HeatherRockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783541112534653879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3911507353447531365.post-60708879843637765992014-03-13T20:04:11.425-07:002014-03-13T20:04:11.425-07:00I am Sam in Mrs. Chalfin's class.

Here are some suffixes that we are learning in class: er, ing, s, less, ful, est, ed, able, and ment. Some words with prefixes are: overnight, midnight, reteach, prekindergarten, submarine, and redo. Some words with suffixes are: swimming, jumping, helpful, hopeful, reader, writer, quickest, quietest, homeless, disagreement, camped, readable, and teachable. My favorite word that I came up with is reteaching because it has a prefix, a base word, and a suffix in it.<br /><br />Heather, thank you for coming in and teaching our class. You helped me learn about prefixes, base words, and suffixes. I liked when you told classmates to put marbles in the marble jar. I was wondering if class in classmates is a prefix, but my mom thinks classmates is a compound word. What do you think?<br /><br />Sincerely, <br />SamSamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3911507353447531365.post-33104695516746509712014-03-13T19:46:12.275-07:002014-03-13T19:46:12.275-07:00Dear Heather,
