Incredibly WEIRD Word of the Day...

Hey kiddos!

As I was looking for the word of the day, I found that today's word is one of MY FAVORITE words EVER!

Here are the rules:

The first 5 people in each homeroom to use the word CORRECTLY in a sentence will receive CHARGER POINTS.

Your sentence has to let me know that you KNOW the MEANING of the word.  For example if the word was dubious, you couldn't use a sentence like "She is dubious" or "That was dubious".  A correct sentence that is CHARGER-worthy would be: "The shady qualifications of the candidate made him a dubious choice for president."  Here the word SHADY acts like a SYNONYM or DEFINITION context clue.  You know that DUBIOUS most likely means unreliable.

Without further ado,  the word of the day is... drum roll please... 

TCHOTCHKE :)

I can't wait to hear your sentences tomorrow!

Good luck my wonderfully whimsical weirdos!

Miss G

*extra bonus points for the first person in each homeroom to tell me what form of figurative language I have used in this post.  You need to identify it and label it.

  1. Most of this stuff is already at a sidewalk tchotchke shop near you.
