Today’s  Agenda:

     Today, look for a word you like -- because of the way it sounds, what it means, what it looks like on the page, or any for any other reason. 

Record one or more words in your composition book under "Favorite Words."

     I really like “Jacuzzi”  and “Zimbabwe.” 
How about "cobweb"?  

     Watch Bulbous Bouffant
