Bellringers

This week's bellwork activities focus on vocabulary enhancement. Students will define terms such as "flimsy," "initiation," and "assurance," using their own words. They will also engage with synonyms and apply these vocabulary words in sentences to reinforce understanding. Each day's activities will build upon the prior, ensuring comprehensive learning of new concepts and their applications in context.
