4K has worked on an interesting spelling activity called a “Vocabulary Word Map” in which they practice dictionary and thesaurus skills. Students choose a word from their weekly spelling list that will work when they need to: spell the word, use the word in a 4th grade sentence, draw a picture or a connection for the word, locate a matching definition for the word in the dictionary, and write a synonym (word that means the same) and/or an antonym (word that means the opposite) – possibly using the dictionary or thesaurus.
