Word of the Week
In an effort to build our students' vocabularies, we have a Coburn "Word of the Week". Student Council members, staff members and special guests help us with our words. During the morning announcements, the word is mentioned along with a definition for Coburn staff and students to hear. Then it is used in sentences so the students get used to hearing it. At the end of announcements, boys and girls are always reminded to use the "Word of the Week" when they talk and when they write. They are encouraged to use the word in school and at home. We also include the "Word of the Week" in the weekly flyer that goes home on Wednesday.
