My kids ask to do the question of the week if I forget. It's a fun conversation starter and challenges their vocabulary skills.

This is a FABULOUS resource for building Tier 2 words. My students love it and when I forget on Mondays to change the word card they all make sure to remind me! We use the words throughout the week in conversation and I've noticed they have started to use them in their writing now too.

I'm so excited to get this started! The plan is to post them in the hallways of 2nd-5th grade for teachers to easily view and discuss with students at their convenience. It will also be used as a mini speech activity for our speech students too!
