Robust Vocabulary is something that we have been doing in the classroom since the beginning of school. However, thanks to my Alabama Reading Initiative training sessions, I have been able to use it more and more in the classroom in the past several weeks. On Monday, we introduce the first 3 words. Tuesday, we review and work with those same three words. On Wednesday, we learn the next 3 words, so on Thursdays we review and work with those words. Finally, on Friday of each week we do a big review of all 6 words.
I try to use the words in regular conversation as often as possible so that the kids are exposed to it time and time again. I think that by having you guys use it at home as well, we will be able to really develop a good understanding of these words!
The definition for our words are as follows:
1. applauded - If you applauded someone, you clapped your hands to show you liked what they did.
2. chatty - If you are chatty, you really like to talk.
3. gather - If you gather things, you bring them together in one place.
4. duty - A duty is a job you have to do.
5. envy - When you feel envy, you want something that someone else has.
6. resent - You might resent someone if you feel that that person is being treated better, or more fairly, than you are.
