Hi Parents and Caregivers- we will be having a Wordly Wise Quiz on Lesson 1 words on Friday, October 10th. The students ARE NOT required to memorize the definitions and parts of speech. They do need to know how to use them, and recognize them being used, in the correct context. Wordly Wise teaches students academic vocabulary in the context of nonfiction passages covering a variety of grade appropriate topics from literature, the sciences, social studies, and cultural literacy. In doing so, the students are able to learn how to use these vocabulary words in real world context. I am including a link here to the Wordly Wise website where the students can play interactive games, and use flash cards to understand the words and their context much easier.
