I guess so

Today we were doing word study with math vocabulary since the state ELA tests are over but the state math tests are next week. Actual quote from my classroom:

Me: So, when the word 'translate' doesn't have the -tion on it, is it a noun, verb, or adjective?
Most of the class: Verb!
Me: That's right, because translate is an action. So when I add on the suffix -tion, is it a noun, verb, or adjective?
Some of the class: Noun!
Me: Awesome!
AW: That's the sound my cat makes. "Noun, noun."

Really? That's where your brain was at during this lesson?
