Weekly Vocabulary

To build vocabulary, communication skills [speaking and listening], as well as confidence, there will be words of interest that we have discussed in class during the previous week. We call this 'Word Hunting' [finding out what words mean]. Please ask your child to explain what each word means and help them to use each word in a sentence. These words are not for spelling. Parents you may add comments in the notebooks.
