New Vocabulary Videos for Grades 2 – 8
Fifteen New Word Up Vocabulary Videos!
The Word Up Project used to just teach interdisciplinary vocabulary words through songs and activities. But now we’re amping it up: We’re working with a talented team of animators to bring you videos for every single Word Up song. (Yup, all 98 of them for grades 2-8.) If you’ve ever wanted to see penguins join a rock band, a boy befriend a dragon or two mimes find love… you’re in luck. Here are the newest fifteen videos. We have a sampling of videos from grades 2 through 8. Check back soon for more videos!
