We discussed a lot of great words this week in class. I will list them below with descriptions or pronunciation tips.

Please respond on the forum using one to three of the new words in sentences.

Terraced = The stone walls that keep farms on a hill from becoming a mudslide. (See Picture!)
Ancestors = The family members who came before you (like your great-great grandfather)
Supper = Another word for "Dinner."
Moss = Green slimy or moldy looking plant. (See picture)
Wrinkles = the lines that appear on skin when we get older.
Uneven = If you use this word to describe a street or path, then it means ground that is not straight; it is bumpy or rocky.
Steep = When a mountain goes straight up instead of slowly inclining like a hill.
Ripples = Small waves in ocean water that make it appear beautiful
