English Language Arts
- The Seventh-grade child has expanded their vocabulary by learning a new word every day through the "Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day" activity.
- They have improved their understanding of word meanings and usage by reading the examples and definitions provided for each word.
- By receiving a new word every day, the child has developed a habit of consistently engaging with language and building their language skills.
- They have also enhanced their writing by incorporating the newly learned words into their compositions, thereby improving their overall communication skills.
Continuing to develop language skills can be done in various creative ways. Encourage the Seventh-grade child to write short stories or poems using the new words they learn. They can also create their own word-of-the-day calendar and share it with friends or family members, fostering a love for language exploration and expanding their vocabulary further.
