Buzz Word Explosion!

In addition to our daily buzz word lessons, students participate in bi-monthly competitions to see which table group can use the most buzz words in their speaking and writing. Each time a word is used, they add a sticker to their poster. These contests have really motivated the students to go above and beyond with their vocabulary! 

A week ago, I started noticing students pushing their brains even further by creating "buzz word" stories where they challenged themselves to see how many vocabulary words they could accurately incorporate into a narrative. THEN, buzz word posters started popping up too! Students would think of a person or topic and connect as many buzz words that applied. WOW!

 We have been posting their work in our vocabulary area and I am SO proud! Keep up the great work!
