Found a cool idea

While searching for some helps with new words, I found this site. You may know about it already, but if not, it has a start on "WOW Words" and gave me an idea how to expand with our own. www.sparklebox.co.uk
I made a colored 4x6 of the WoW Words they gave and we put it at the top of a page in our writer's notebook. Then we added our own as we thought of them or came across a good one as we read. This was a good mini lesson that just keeps growing and I do see the kids using it.

The site has a list of "nasty and nice" character words as well. I saved that for another day. I think the characters they used could be better and perhaps I will improve. Young people faces appear on the nice word cards while old people faces appear on the nasty. Now that folks is just wrong. Old people can be nice too. I think that sends a bad message...poor old folks have enough going for them without being dubbed "nasty". ( I resemble that remark.)
Happy writing! If you have a cool idea that works...share!
