Spradling, Charles – Principal, 1984
First, third, and fifth graders master advanced vocabulary through a principal's "word for the day" strategy. Volunteer students look up the word in the dictionary, write the definition on the board, use it in a sentence, and create a poster. Retention is periodically tested and prizes awarded for top performance. (MJL)
