This week we will begin a new vocabulary building routine called “Juicy Word of the Week.” Every Monday, I will select a new “juicy word” for us to study. The students’ goal for the rest of the week is to see how many times they encounter this “juicy word.” All the students will have a chart in the “Homework” section of their KOALA Books where they can track each time they hear the word (in a conversation, during a TV show, etc.), see the word in their reading, or use the word in their own writing/speaking. This helps students “tune in” to interesting words around them and incorporate them in to their everyday vocabulary. Ask your child Monday night what this week’s word is!
And just for some winter fun…here are a couple of cool websites where you can design your own virtual snowflakes!
