Turtle #25

Avalee has reached the last set of turtle words. We have gone through 25 sets of words since the start of 1st grade. I have decided Turtle #25 is meant to take the students that reach it weeks to understand. So if anyone wants to call Avalee on the phone and give her a vocabulary lesson, this would be the week she needs help.

Here are the words that are on #25.

continent
ridiculous
awesome
alphabetical
published
photography
pandemonium
outlandish
formidable*
journalism
commendation
aristocrat
paleontology
paraprofessional
parochial**
parenthesize
repressive
reverberation*
sentimentalize
treasonable

* Had to look the word up in the dictionary to give Avalee a good definition.
** Looked the word up and still don't know how to pronounce it.

Yes, well even now I sometimes have to think which is which when it comes to secular and parochial.

Amazing words, Avalee. I will try to get Pop-pop to call and quiz you on these words this week.
