This week starts our new "Essential 25" Vocabulary Instruction. Galva Elementary will focus on one new vocabulary word each week. The list reflects research that shows these words are critical to a student's academic vocabulary. Whether it is a question on an assessment, an essay prompt in class, or communicating with peers and teachers, academic vocabulary allows students to truly understand the questions that are being asked of them.
