Extra Vocabulary Help
Dear Parents,
I have some wonderful news for you. I have found a great game for your children to practice their vocabulary and context skills. This game is fun and interactive and a great opportunity for individual or parent/child learning. It is called Hawkabulary, and it is located at http://mrnussbaum.com/hawkabulary. In this game, your children will be given a sentence with words to choose from. These words are connected to animals and a hawk will swoop down and pick up if the word fits the sentence. Hawkabulary gives your child a great opportunity to learn new words, practice context skills, as well as practice synonyms and antonyms.
Hawkabulary will help your children to hone their skills as vocabulary masters. Their knowledge will be expanded, so when we do similar activities in class with their weekly vocabulary words they will be able to better understand how to determine the correct answer more easily. Your students have been enjoying this game in class very much. They love to see their own progress on our charts and it is a favored part of their day. I appreciate your help in advancing your child’s knowledge and skills.
Sincerely,
Ms. Ulsher
