Vocabulary W.S.

Each student is required to purchase the workbook which is for sale in the front office.
Each unit will be completed at home and graded the Friday of the 2nd week. We will have a test over 3 units at a time, which will be once every 6 weeks. This workbook is fabulous at teaching new vocabulary. Please help your student use these words in their daily conversations. Copying another student's work is ludicrous to learning. The objective is to learn new words. When you expand your vocabulary, you expand your world.
