SOCIAL SCIENCE VOCABULARY

Definitions are not listed at this level. Because we feel it is very important to display the Vocabulary Preview Poster to enhance oral language. We believe that at this level we need to determine the meaning of the words first. After the children describe what they see, we then encourage them to use the words from the lesson in complete sentences.
