Antonyms are Opposites!

November 4th, 2009  Tagged

Today we discovered that we knew a lot about antonyms or opposites.

First we filled our smartboard with pairs of antonyms and then got with our couch buddy to think of more.

Then we used our wordle bucket (a pail of notepads and colored pencils) and collaborated with our partner to come up with 3 pairs of antonyms.

Last we entered our text into wordle and chose the design we liked best.

We challenge our blog readers to add a comment and think of three pairs of antonyms to add to our learning. Please leave them in your comment!

Sadie’s mom made an antonym wordle for us! Let’s see if we can pair up those antonyms!

    We made some antonyms with Wordle as well but we made them by adding a prefix.

    A prefix is a little beginning chunk you put on a word to make it into an antonym.

    Here you go in wordle form – more than three. These are related to directions or proximity.

    BTW, I had fun doing this. It got my brain going on this cold morning.

    We wish you were near, not far.
    Your antynoms are great, not bad.
    We are happy, not sad to go home early today.
    Your blog is cool, not lame.
    Have a fun, not boring weekend.

    From the Fantastic, not blah, 2nd graders!
