Halloween Word Cemetery

In the spirit of Halloween, and in the name of good word choice, the 4th and 5th graders created a word cemetery.  This is a way to "bury" some of the overused words (said, good, bad, small, big) and think of some other words to use in their place.  4th graders came up with 8 replacement words while the 5th grade came up with 10.  While this was a fun and timely activity it really got the students thinking about other words they can use and how their word choice can really improve their writing. The adorable decor was just an added bonus! :)
