Vocabulary Words and Activities

Hi Rachel,

Below you will find some additional vocabulary words from the story "Mr. Popper's Penguins".  Try to pronounce the words because you will need to know how to say them as you are reading.  You may then follow the directions with the words.  For you illustrations and using the words in a sentence, you will need to use a sheet of paper.  These words will be placed in Spelling City also.  You can go there to play vocabulary games with these words.  Have fun!
