Celebrating Word Wizard




We are word wizards!  We earned our first popcorn party for using our vocabulary words!  Students had to earn stars for using the 12 vocabulary words from our reading in their everyday speech.  When a child uses a word wizard word, they tell the class the context they used the word in and they get to put a sticker up on our chart. When we collected enough stars, we won the popcorn party!  Interesting note....the word coincidence was the word winner.  Have you heard your child using some of the words?



While they were eating their popcorn treat, we read the book Scarecrow's Hat.  See the video of the book above.  After reading the book we have been studying the words, swapped, grateful, benefit, relief, delighted, and trustworthy. See if your child can define the six words and give you some examples.  Try using the words in your speech and see if they notice!  Of course, if you catch any word wizards at home, a quick note from you guarantees a star on the word wizard board!
