WOO-HOO!
Is the random, seemingly spontaneous cheering making you crazy yet?
I am a big fan of vocabulary! Why should words be dull when they can be dazzling? It is my goal for your kids to learn at least 180 impressive words this year, not just so that they will recognize and understand them, but so that they will use them. When they hear, read or say one of the following words, you should expect to hear a little cheer--go ahead, test them out if you dare!
To the right, you will find the official list of our Words of the Day, complete with definitions, synonyms, etymology (origin), and examples. Clicking on the word will take you to the Longman Dictionary for more information, including pronunciation. In fact, you can click on any bold, colorful word or phrase to take a virtual excursion on the web.
If your child hears one of these words in conversation or on TV, have him log on and share what he heard by adding a "comment" below the word. AND, if you want to see your child flex her vocabulary muscle, have her add a comment and use the word in a great sentence of her own!

Tye says...
In the video the magnets are repelling away from each other.

Is what is happening in the video is both the south and the north are repelling because they are both together. You'd have to flip them around to the north to the south to get them together.
Ashaylahponce says

Jace says
The magnets are REPELLING each other
Jaycee says...
I think what's happening to the magnets is that
they are repeling each other, but the magnets are tied to strings on that little thingy, but back to business either the north and the north poles are facing each other or the south poles!
Cheyenne says
In the video for repel the magnets are REPELING from each other becauce the magnets are on south and south or north and north!
Jason says
I repel a temporary taboo potentially not so fun life by overwhelming my brain with a sufficient lack of knowledge, skill, and smart choices.WOO HOO! Literly
Bo says
I think it is defing gravity so it repels away because south and south is facing each other or north and north are facing each other.
jordan says

Elijah says...
The magnet is repelling from the other magnet, and the string is keeping the magnet in place.
Clayton says...
He is trying to show that north and north can not be to gether or they will repel you have to switch then around so they will stick to gether.
Mikaela says...
In my image I had a girl repeling another girl because she was stinky.
Jace says
The paperclip and the bolt are temporary
Ricky says
i had to repel from the lion at the zoo.
Gabby says...
My notion is that in this video the magnets are repelling each other by not going down and touching each other.
Syreena said......
The magnets in this video repel each other because they are the same magnet like the North pole and the South pole,it's repelling each other like you repel food like peas with ranch and B.B.Q. sauce swirled up in a salad......... BLA! GROSS! I bet you would repel that too. I know I would .... GROSS! any way the magnets are just like that ,the North pole hates pea & ranch salad that the other North pole has to give so it visits the South pole that has cookies so they REPEL!!
Gary says....
