Periods 4 & 8 Word of the Week: modicum

Period 4 and period 8 both chose modicum as our word of the week.  We looked up modicum and discovered that it means "a moderate or small amount."

Here are the sentences that we made up to show our understanding of the word:

1. I can't buy new shoes with the modicum of money that I have.
2. I only have a modicum of money, so I cannot buy what I want.
3. The bags of chips in the vending machine only give you a modicum of chips.
