Vocabulary Words = No PROBLEM!!!

These students have NO problem learning their reading vocabulary because they know those motions and moves to keep them in their head!
Take a look and maybe you will learn a few new words.

Yakira's word "praised".
Look at her giving those spirit fingers to encourage that football team.
Aldrick is no longer young, but "frail"!
Doesn't he look old and weak?????
Tykeria wants to "reply" to the teacher's question.
Love it when you raise your hand to answer.
Climbing that mountain can be "harsh"!
DeAsia sure makes it look difficult!

Kohen looks good "mounted" on that horse.
Hold on, don't want you to fall off since you climbed on top.
Alex is getting ready for that big "feast"!
I hope we are invited to that big meal!!!
Motions are a great way to have students remember their words.
Can you find the definitions to the words in the commentary?
