This was the 2nd year Brier has held a parade of words. We got our idea from the book "Miss Alaineus: A Vocabulary Disaster" by Debra Frasier. Students and staff dressed up as a vocabulary word, then we paraded through the classrooms sharing our words with the rest of the school. The parade took about 30 minutes and included everyone! I chose "masthead" (right) as my word this year and dressed up in a newspaper motif. Others chose words like, tattletale, glitz (left), molecule, static cling, exoskeleton, and many more. Each outfit had to contain the word and a definition. It was a great literacy event for the entire building.
