Each day the students will be given a new word to learn. They were given a small notebook to keep all of their words in and to help keep them organized. Each day on the board is a new word. Some of the words are taken from classroom assignments, while others are words they will see on standardized tests.
For each word the students will need to do the following:
- Define the word
- Identify the part of speech
- Write the word in a sentence using the correct meaning
- Identify a synonym and antonym
- Draw a picture to match the meaning of the word.

Why do we do "Word of the Day?"Building Vocabulary has two broad goals: 1) to increase students’ knowledge of words,
particularly those words they need to be successful in school and; 2) to deepen their knowledge about words so that students have strategies to figure out the meaning of many new words on their own. |
Below you will find the word of the day.
