Vocabulary Homefun for after Winter Break

No more Wordly Wise!

However, we are sticking with the vocabulary theme to make their homefun as purposeful as possible.
  •  Each week, your child will write down 8-12 Unit Study words in their Word Wall Journal.
  • They will be required to complete 4 activities each week from the hopscotch, and turn in the journal by Friday morning.
  •  Then, on Friday, as part of our Unit Study test, these words will appear!
The Hopscotch Directions: (Click on the title of this post for the hopscotch directions.)

1st jump: Write the definition for EACH word. (The students may take their unit study text book home with them to accomplish this task.)
2nd jump: Choose between writing a sentence or drawing a picture for EACH word.
3rd jump: Write EACH word in alphabetical order.
4th jump: Choose between creating and completing a crossword puzzle for EACH word or writing a story with at least 8 words.
