Word of the Week

Each week, you'll be competing to find difficult but USEFUL words to enter in a contest.  These words must not be from your
vocabulary book, but from your own reading or listening skills.  Turn in the word and its definition on an index card with your name.  If you qualify for "Word of the Day" or "Word of the Week," you will get a prize.  Challenging but kid-friendly words are the best ones to pick---words you have heard before, but are not sure what they mean.
