Roosevelt Middle School Word Lists
Thank you to former Roosevelt teacher Erin Paris for this great word list! During her years teaching the Word Study class at Roosevelt, Ms. Paris developed these lists of "must know" words. Worldly Roosevelt IB students should own these words. That means you should not only recognize them and know their meaning, but also be able to use them correctly and with confidence in writing or conversation.
