Word of the Day

The students really seem to be enjoying the Word of the Day, and they have been doing a great job. One thing that we have been talking about quite a bit lately is writing definitions that are not easy to understand. I have talked with the students about trying not to write words that they cannot pronounce or that they don't know what they mean. Naturally this prevents them from the goal of this assignment, which is to learn new and interesting words. Please work with your child to make sure they understand the word, and that they are not just copying something from the dictionary. We did an example with the word from today, and they seemed to have a good understanding of a well written definition. Thank you for your help!
