In order
to help students prepare for State Testing, the ACT, and/or the PSAT, students are given weekly vocabulary. Weekly vocabulary
is only completed on five day school weeks. Students will need access to a dictionary and a thesaurus at home in order
to complete the assignments.
Online
sites available:
http://www.merriam-webster.com (matches the classroom set
of books)
http://dictionary.reference.com

There
are three components of weekly vocabulary assignments. This means that there
are three assignments for separate grades.
- Definitions - due on Tuesday (See Direction Sheet for
step by step directions)
- Online Vocabulary activities - completed no later than Friday
- Spelling quiz - given on Friday
Lists of words for each grade's lessons are available below. Each one is a downloadable
PDF file.
