If you give a kid vocabulary words...

...he'll make a movie.

At least, if that kid is Matthew. Last night, while the rest of us were out, he and his buddy, Andrew, worked to create a video using the words we've studied for the last couple of days...all 68 of them. I haven't viewed the video yet - it was finished late last night - but I can't wait to see how they used maladroit, nefarious, salubrious, and effervesce. I heard that the movie making involved a trip to two drive-through windows. Hmmmm????

Oh, I can't wait to see it either! I remember prepping all those vocab words, but I never in a million years would've come up with such a creative way to remember them! :)

kk, erin, and tonia,
Matthew says he now knows all of those words and he is hoping they're on the SAT this year. I think this may be the quickest way for him to learn anything. And his buddy, Andrew, is pretty psyched about this learning method, too! LOTS of fun!
