No More Rootin' Tootin' Vocab!

It's true, I have discontinued the monthly project: Rootin' Tootin' Vocab. While I still see the value in learning Latin and Greek roots, this project was not meeting the goals I set for it. Ultimately, I wanted students to learn the roots and find examples of them in their everyday lives. As I reviewed the results (and the projects turned in) I saw the need for a change. We will continue our daily Latin and Greek root word work, but for now, Rootin' Tootin' vocab is on hold. I will be revising the project and will provide eighth graders with new instructions soon.
