A fantastic idea to creatively promote vocabulary building. Connects to our studies and efforts towards Common Core, Content Academic Vocabulary, and our push with Greek and Latin Roots.

1. What scaffolds does Ms. Wessling put into place to get her students using new vocabulary?
2. Which words are best suited for paint chips?
3. How could you use paint chips in your classroom?
