- Vocabulary words are not the same as sight words.
- Students get vocabulary words for both subjects: Reading and Social Studies.
- The Social studies words will be usually define in class as they are part of the readings from the books.
- The reading words will be posted and defined in the blog. I will not check to make sure those words are written in the notebook as homework.
- You can have your child copy them at home in their notebook or you could print for them to review at home. That is you choice. The words are reviewed constantly throughout the week and to maximize teaching time, I will not have them write the words down in class.
- No matter what method you decide on, please make sure they are only on the words for their grade level.
