Academic Vocabulary
Jack Benny students are expected to learn the meanings of the words contained in the Academic Vocabulary list below. The list contains words from all three grade levels in four subject areas: language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. These words will likely appear on the ISAT test in March.
All students are invited to prepare for this year's Language Arts and Math Vocabulary Race, which will take place on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 during periods 8 and 9 in the library. Each communications and each math teacher will choose one student representative to attend the race in the library. Students can ask their communications and math teachers if their class will be holding its own class race to identify their classes' representative at the library race on 5/20.

LANGUAGE ARTS AND MATH ACADEMIC VOCABULARY RACES
Last year, after studying the definitions of the words listed above, interested students competed in one or both of Benny's First Vocabulary Races during February in the Library Media center. Two students at a time raced to be the first to write an accurate definition of their word on the dry erase board then run and ring the red bell! There was one race for Communications and one for Math. Treats were provided. Results are below.
