Vocabulary for the Week

Every week we will have a new set of vocabulary words which we focus on as the week goes on. The emphasis for these words is on gaining confidence with words that may be less familiar to the children and on using them in spoken sentences. I am sharing them here so that you can discuss them with your child if you get a chance:
