Vocabulary
Throughout and a
Science Suggestion
To reinforce science vocabulary have your child copy down relevant vocabulary terms from pages 29-30 of the McWizKid Science book on 3 x 5 cards. Write the term (like "property") on one side, and the meaning on the other side. Review from time to time.
SUGGESTION
(A parent may wish to purchase a plain colored two-pocket folder, write "Science Journal" on the front cover, and on the inside pockets organize various assessments and lab sheets. Place vocabulary cards with a rubber band in one of the pockets.)
