Good! If you use the search box, you'll find more. There's a good winter one here, though it's summer where you live (and warm most of the time, I imagine!). www.writeshop.com/blog/2009/12/15/winter-word-bank-word-list/ Still, you get the idea. Have your kids create their own word banks that are appropriate for your particular environs and climate. Then, once your fabulous Synonym Finder arrives, have them look up synonyms for the words they've already added to their word banks. A great way to expand their vocabulary! And thanks for sharing your renewed enthusiasm for teaching writing. I'm honored that you have found my blog inspirational and helpful, Amy. Oh, you found a word bank! Good!
