Vocabulary Words

Vocabulary words are EVERYWHERE!  I had them tell me words they had been learning about in both PLTW and Math.  Kids were able to give a TON of words with very little effort.  When asked to give me words in the books they were reading, it was a lot harder.  When we took the time to really LOOK at the words we were reading, we found a lot of great words.  We read the book The Boy Who Loved Words and used STICKY NOTES for the first time.  Talk to your kids about words at home too.  Notice interesting words together.  It’s not always about unknown words, it can also be about words you think are interesting and want to use in our own writing.  WORDS are amazing!
