In chapter 4 of Claude at the Circus by Alex T. Smith, we found the word "scamper" in this sentence:
“…Claude and Sir Bobblysock quickly scampered away to the ice cream van.”
What does it mean?
To scamper means to to run or move quickly and often playfully.
We created our own sentence using this new word.
Mama shouts to her barnyard of children, "Scamper off, and let me get to my quiltin'."
Other words from this book that add to our vocabulary: fetching, beret, miffed, buggy (as in, the British term for stroller)
This is a silly and simple book, great for early elementary enjoyment.
Research shows that reading 20 minutes a day expands one’s
vocabulary. Every week we’ll point out a word that we’ve discovered in our
books.
We used http://www.merriam-webster.com
to provide this definition.
