Vocabulary

**Weekly Vocabulary Lists** Although the most important vocabulary gained from writing is direct reading, students will have **weekly vocabulary lists** to study. These lists will initially be focused on the most **common Latin roots, Greek roots, prefixes and suffixes** in the English language. Directly teaching specific, research driven words will help students in all areas of study. Moreover, students who are able to understand parts of a word can often using **inductive reasoning** to figure out what the word means (e.g. **antibiotics** must have something to with "against" and "life").

In students' book projects, read alouds, history assignments, and connecting to science and mathematics, students will be **infused** with a **myriad** of **words**. I have a **passion** for language and linguistics, and growing up with a mom who speaks six languages and a dad who speaks three, made it all the more a normal way of life to hear words of Germanic, French, Spanish, and Latin origin. I have found that children **love** to learn **complex words**, and have even had students cheer when I pass out a list of words to learn. I feel that the **art of language** is indeed selecting words to match a **mood** and **tone**.
