I was going over the definitions of the words from my SAT warm up today.  One word was ebullient, defined as cheerful and full of energy.  In order for my students to "own" a word, I try to get them to make connections.  I asked them what teachers they know who are ebullient.  I got several answers, but the voice I heard above all others said, "I love Mrs. McCormick!  She's such a good teacher!"  You are loved, Mrs. McCormick!
