Internet symbol www connected to a mouseI love words. My students groan every time I pass out a new vocabulary sheet for a unit, but I truly think that learning new vocabulary is extremely important. My brain just feels stagnant when I don’t learn new things. Wednesdays will be my dedication to making sure your brain does not become stagnant. Try some of the WWW words in your daily conversation or in your writing. While some of the words might seem familiar, I’m really just hoping to remind you to use unique words. Here is the first WWW post. If you have any WWW words that you would like to add, feel free to post them in the comments. Or post a sentence using the WWW word from today.
