Vocabulary Words

With SATs and more difficult high school work, we tried writing new words on this wall in the kitchen. We decide together which two words we will use and go over the meanings. It works for me. Well, kinda.
I used one of the words (which we had discussed at length) and Micah looked at me with a totally blank face. 'had never heard the word. 'didn't know what it meant.

But we can at least say that we're trying. Check out what works for other people...

I love your chalk board wall. I've been thinking of painting a wall in my house with this paint.

Great idea! I love your wall, too. It makes me want to create a similar area in my house.
