Interactive Mystery Word of the Week {a freebie!}
Thought I'd share something I've been working on with my fifth graders! I wanted to have a way for them to record all of their vocabulary work when we use the Mystery Word of the Week each day, but I only have them for such a short amount of time that I needed this to be fast, fast, fast.

Download the template here We have been having so much fun with this!!! They are so excited when it's time for a new word because I let them write the first day's clues in pen. (((Gasp!!))) Yep, a ball-point pen. Whatever color they want. They get to write the first letter and blanks in pen, so they can try out their guesses in pencil without worrying about erasing the blanks. This combines their obsession for office supplies and my passion for vocabulary development ...
