The goal of this course is to learn new vocabulary words and how to incorporate the words into our everyday language.  We will focus on eight vocabulary words from the National Reading Vocabulary lists for 4th and 5th grade each week. 

Each class will start with learning eight new vocabulary words along with their part of speech, synonyms, and ways to use the word in a sentence.' Each Monday I will send out a video recording of me working through a presentation of the words (along with pictures, sample sentences, part of speech, and synonyms) for the learners to watch. I will also provide a link each week to a Kahoot game to test their understanding of both the new words we learned.
