Mrs. Sutton's and Mrs. Nockowitz's sixth graders combined for a visit to the Word Market today. Using their $4 credit, students chose words that they thought looked useful, taking care not to mix them up as Milo did in the Phantom Tollbooth. When finished buying nouns, verbs, and interesting adjectives, as well as other parts of speech, they learned the importance of choosing and using words correctly. They learned that "um" was not available and that "like" and "quite" had appropriate uses. Also, words that looked good, like "castle" weren't the most useful. The kids are now using their words to earn credit by making sentences while avoiding taxes on substitutions, additions, and alterations.
