I apologize to B5 and B6 for not having the vocab lessons ready for them. If you need it, here is a reminder on what you should be doing for your vocab. This way if you ever lose your vocab lesson (or the school runs out of paper), here you go:

Word ______________ (then write it out five times): ____________________________________________________________________

Important Information and Relationships:

Define it in your own words (with help from a dictionary): ________________________

Part of speech (noun? verb? adjective? adverb?): _______________________________

Connect it/Make it personal (make it mean something to you so you'll remember it):

_____________________________________________

Memory Clue: (draw a picture so you can visually remember what the word means)

Practice Using It: (in a complete sentence that demonstrates your understanding of the word)


By the way -- you can ALWAYS do a Reading Record on a blank piece of paper too. You just need to tell me: what you read, how long you read for, what days you read, give me a response (these are listed on a previous post from last year), you sign it, and a parent/guardian signs it.
