As we move forward with our Blogging Through The Alphabet with some of my blogging friends we come to our “Word of the Week” beginning with the letter L.
I’m a little behind so you are getting a couple of these this week. We have been moving and have had limited access (don’t you hate moving) so…I’m going to try and catch up on this so I can move forward with my blogging friends again.
My children are elementary age so these words are aimed at developing my elementary school aged kids vocabulary but are generally words that I think are interesting, unique or something kids should know.
This weeks Blogging Through the Alphabet – Word of the Week begins with L.
L is for Lavish
Definition: characterized by extravagance and profusion; very generous
Used in a sentence:
The King provided a lavish buffet to his guests.
(* replace “lavish” with “extravagant” to have a more common sound to the sentence.)
The teacher was lavish in her praises of his science project.
(*replace “lavish” with “very generous” to have a more common sound to the sentence.)
How we worked with the word:
- Write the word and its definition in our vocabulary notebook.
- Read the definition out loud.
- Write two sentences using the word properly.
- Use the word each day in some manner to try and make the use of the word part of our vocabulary.
The kids like to see who can remember to use the word of the week at breakfast each morning. We are now giving points each day for using it in a sentence properly each day. Whoever gets the most points gets to choose the weekend movie.
Do you use vocabulary words in your school? What do you like to do with developing vocabulary for your children?
