IRA: Wonderful Words
            As you read this week, find five “wonderful” words: words that are new to you, words that are fun to say, or words that are interesting to you in some way.  Write down the word, the page number you found it on, and what it means.  Then, either draw a picture to go along with your wonderful word or use it in a fabulous fifth grade sentence.
