Vocabulary Words
These are the vocabulary words that we are learning.  All of my students write these vocabulary words and matching definitions in a vocabulary notebook.  We work with these words in school for about eight days and then we have a test.  Please help your students to learn these words and their definitions. 

Current Words:
 

Mimic Pretend to be someone or something
Resembles To look similar
Traits Qualities or characteristics
Avoid Stay away from
Deceptive A deceptive person or thing tries to make you think something is true when it's not.
Immediate Right away
Revealed Taken out of hiding
Contract Get smaller by shrinking
Gradually Very slowly, over time
Constant Happens non-stop
Depths Deepest Parts
Eruption When something bursts through a surface
Altered Changed
Skeptically With doubt about whether it is true

These will be practiced in school using discussion and worksheets.  They will be tested on or around Friday October 30, 2009.

 

Previous Words:
These words have already been studied and tested.  However, it is important to continue using them so that they are not forgotten.  Please review these words occasionally and try to use them in your daily language.
