Power Words
To expand our vocabulary, we look for interesting words when I read aloud. When we find a great word, we place it on our Power Words board. I try to use these words as often as possible. They should also begin to appear in the children’s writing. I will keep you updated on the words, so that you can use them at home too.
Before he went to bed tonight, Luke laid out all his clothes for the whole weekend (football, church, uniform for Monday). When we tucked him in, he said, “Are you dumfounded I laid out all my clothes?” Too funny!
