Xylophones and X-rays

I started doing the alphabet lists with my 2nd graders. They would make a list of 10 and then each one of us would choose one to put on our class list. One of my mother helpers typed it up for us. It is really special.
When we got to X the title said it all. Then one of the boys came up with ex words that sound like you're saying X. Here is their list.

1. Exit The sign that tells you where to leave the movies.

2. Excited/Exciting Things that are super fun like going to Disneyland.

3. Extra Like when you have some left over.

4. Excellent Like when you get all your spelling or math right.

5. Exercise My mom does it to stay healthy.

6. Extraordinary The difference between extraordinary and ordinary is that little extra.
(It always makes a teacher smile when kids give back your words.)

7. Explanation Like when you explain something and give an example so people know what you mean.

8. Expression Like when you can read feelings by looking at the face.
(This was one of our vocabulary words--my expression was a big smile)

9. Exhale When you breathe out. If you do it loudly it's a sigh.

10. Experience It's something that happens that you write down so you won't forget.
