Well, today I found a word of the day website which I think will be a great addition to Reader's Writer's Workshop. I think it will be a fun way for students to build their vocabulary. The words are all appropriate for fourth through sixth graders. I'll show the word on the whiteboard and we can read the definition, part of speech etc. Maybe I will have a little competition to see who can write the most meaningful or descriptive sentence with the word. If I hear a student use our word of the day correctly, who knows, maybe they will win a class dollar or free popcorn! Here's the link!
Here is the link to a little writing that I may incorporate with the word of the day. Perhaps we will make a book!
