Homework!!!! Some of the students have been really struggling with looking up words in a dictionary. We do this activity once a week. Every now and then I will send an assignment home to work on. This week I want your child to look up the word “hinge.” Have your child write the definition, and also write the pronunciation of the word. Which letter is silent in the pronunciation of the word?
