What a well written unfolding of this family! I enjoyed the narrative as much as I enjoyed the etymological entries and morphological structures. Your slides were a wonderful way to follow your investigation step by step. Thank you for this.
I especially liked the way you highlighted what ‘aug’ was and what it wasn’t. It’s so important to learn not to jump to conclusions. Beware of wysiwygery! Well done!
Thank you for reading our blog and looking at our slide show. We liked that you were looking closely and complimenting on us on what we did. That makes us feel excited that other people are reading our learning. We helped Mrs. Barnett create the slide show. Do you know about the matrices we hang in our hallway? We have a matrix about the word ‘joy’, we found words that shared a root with ‘joy’ and words that did not. Some were a bit tricky because they might have shared letters or sounds but we found they did not share meaning or an etymon. Thank you for looking at our work and have a good day!

Lisa Barnett and her buzzing bees this is such an impressive display of your understanding of the word inauguration. I will most definitely be showing this to my Grade 7 Humanities class on Monday here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Keep up the great work and your eyes open for more intriguing words , their morphemes and the stories behind them!
Dear Mrs. Whiting,
Thank you for showing our slide show of the word ‘inauguration’ to your class. We are in 3rd grade in Fenton, Michigan in the United States. We are thankful that you looked at our stuff and you learned from it. That makes us feel happier than ever! We looked on a map to see where Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was. Does your country have anything cool or interesting there? My teacher has read your blogs and tells us about your class’s learning too!
Sincerely,
