We will be working with Critical Verbs over the next few weeks. These are words that the students need to know in order to understand and/or complete certain tasks in Language Arts. Many of these words they should already know. A few may be new or unfamiliar to them. We will be going over when or how these words would be used and most words will have "reminder clues" with the definition on the Quiz.
The Quiz for our first set of Verbs is scheduled for Tuesday May 3. See the list of words below if your child is absent or needs to finish recording the definitions.
Monday:
analyze - break something down into parts
articulate - express clearly

Tuesday:
