Our 8th grade Academic Enrichment Students in Ms. Smith's Class have had a ball learning more about the English Language as we have been implementing strategies from our LETRS Training here at SIMS. Recently, she had her students research the origin of some of the academic and domain-specific vocabulary words used in class. Students were suprised at their findings and shared what they learned through a Word Sort!
