VOCABULARY WORD OF THE DAY

Dear Students,
Lets learn some new words.
If you give me a sentence with this word early Tuesday evening, you can get a special treat for Halloween!

Learning can be fun, right?

Love always,
Ms B


Today's Word "redact"
redact \rih-DAKT\ (transitive verb) - 1 : To draw up or frame (a statement, proclamation, etc.); to put in writing. 2 : To make ready and put in shape for publication; to edit. "Back when we were in college, we used to lie in bed and regularly redact a mutual fantasy about how someday we could run a cafe or a hotel in some distant country..." -- Peter Gadol, 'Light at Dusk' Redact derives from Latin redactus, past participle of redigere, to drive back, from re-, red-, "again, back" + agere, "to put in motion, to drive."
