The students are expanding their vocabularies by asking me the meanings of words they come across in their S.Q.U.I.R.T. books. I was stumped today by lexicography (the writing or compiling of dictionaries) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA - acids that transfer genetic information and synthesize protein).
We're all on our toes!!!
Spelling Test tomorrow.
