WORD Wednesday!

We have completed our first week of presenting our robust word to the class. The words were quite impressive! As a class we discussed the importance of expanding our vocabulary to help us strengthen our reading, writing and speaking skills. Children who acquire a substantial vocabulary are often able to think more deeply, express themselves better, and learn new things more quickly. They are also very likely to be successful not only learning to read, but also in reading at or above grade level throughout their school years. Words that are interesting can be found anywhere! We also watched an episode of Word Girl the inspiration for Word Wednesday. Here is the link for more Word Girl activities. Word Wednesday is every week as ongoing homework throughout the year.
