Rainbow Words (High Frequency Words)

Each quarter a set of high frequency words are introduced through literary experiences. When a child masters all words for the quarter they earn a raindrop that is placed under our class rainbow. Each raindrop is colored coded to help keep track of words that we have learned. The following is a list of words that we have introduced this school year:

Fourth Quarter Words (Orange raindrops): he, she, they, want, for
