      Thanks Jalela!
      Mostly good work with copying and pasting the definitions. Don't forget to include the word you are writing about. Like "button" for the second line.
      "Butter" wasn't a vocabulary word from last week.
      the spelling is "application" not "opplication"
      Good work including parts of speech ( noun) most of the time.
