Degradable

Do you know wastes that are in landfills are degraded? So, if you have something that is plastic, look for the recycle sign which has a number in it. That, you may have to look up what the number means. Whatever that number means is what that plastic item is made of. The waste from the land fill usually is used in the making of plastic items. That is why I started out by talking about landfills.

Deem

Rebecca:  Deem. So, now that your facing it and have to tell me the answer, do you even know what it means?
Joseph: Deem? Of course! It means El Pollo Loco. Doesn't it?
Rebecca: What are you talking about? I said, "deem." I never said that we were going to eat chicken.
Joseph: Oh, sorry it means like when your PSP, gameboy, and NintendoDS becomes "dim." Right? Except they just replace the i with a double ee when they are talking about electronics like what I've listed.
Rebecca: NO WAY! Listen to what I'm about to say.
Joseph: Okay! Okay! I will! Sheesh Kabeesh! Oh and what you said rhymes.
Rebecca: Who Cares?
Joseph: Me!
Rebecca: Fine! Have it your way! Now, deem means to consider. In easier words, it means to come to think of
Joseph: Hey! Watch your punctuation! You missed a period after the definition.
Rebecca: You know what?
Joseph: What?
Rebecca: YOU MADE ME LOSE MY TEMPER!
Narrator: The End.

Declaim

When someone declaims something, they recite their lines in public. For example, when you are going to perform a play, you have a recital. Right? Well, sometimes when you are doing a recital many people come in and watch. They are not part of your school or anything but they still come. That is what declaiming means. Ok, so now the link for Merriam Webster's:

declaim

Ok, bye!

Decibel

I don't know much about this word. But, it means: a logarithmic unit of measurement that expresses the magnitude of a physical quantity.
So, if you know about it please tell me. You can type it when you are giving a comment to this post.
However, I just want you to tell me what magnitude and physical quantity means.
Ok, bye!

Debilitate

First, I have a fact for you about the word debilitate. Debilitate means to weaken. Well, in Spanish, debil means weak. So, I'm sure the origin of the word debilitate is Spanish. However, the way I found out was because I needed to study for the Spanish Test. One of our words was debil. I remembered that debil meant weak. So, when I saw the word debilitate and I saw debil, at once I knew that debilitate should mean weak or some thing similar to that. Ok, bye!

Dais

Guess what a dais is. It's a platform for specific people. For instance, a person gives a speech. They need a stage to do that. Or if a performance is taking place they need a dais. Stage and dais kind of mean the same thing. Those are the reasons we use dais in the present. Now, let's go to the past. In the past, they used a dais for royal or majestic people to place their throne. So, most kings and queens might have had a dais. Ok, bye!

Curator

Caretakers : People who take care of zoos,museums, and many other things. Yesterday we learnt about curative which means it cures diseases. But, curator means a person whoTAKES CARE of museums and exhibits. So, in a way they both mean the same. Here are a few sentence examples:
1. Druesedow said the curator is responsible for taking care of the collection as well as displaying it.
2. Frieze as she discusses her work as a curator, editor and writer.
3. If there is curation, the curator should be the one noted as making the choices.

Ok, bye!

Curative

If something is curative it can cure diseases. For example, for the swine flu they haven't found out anything curative. They've only found out a medication you put on so that YOU don't catch the swine flu. So, I wonder if you will be the doctor or scientist to find a curative medicine for the swine flu. Here are a few sentence examples:
1. Treatment can range from curative to non-curative.

2. The air there has wonderful cur--curative properties.

3. The magic "medicines" which are used as protective, curative, and productive agencies, and are known as the é tâ-we and á-kwa-we (the "contained" and the "medicines One object, a mere concretion, will have something about it suggesting an organ of the human body.

These sentences are great! Hope you enjoyed reading this!
Sincerely,
Mystery Girl

Cumbersome

You know about fat kids that are troublesome. Like bullies. So, cumbersome means troublesome and really hard to handle.Here are a few sentences:
1. Mostly they tend to be slow and cumbersome, and this is made worse when you're running inside a small virtualised OS.
2. That workaround is just not acceptable, its slow, cumbersome, and fools people when things change.
3. It was heavy and cumbersome, and she realized, in her unskilled hand, useless.
Ok, those were a few sentences. Today I need to go early to school because I'm going to The Academy of Sciences. I have to be at my school by 8:00. So, bye!

Culmination

Have you ever went hiking with your family, friends, or teachers? Have you went in front of them and bet them up to the  top. Well, that is what we call culminating.
It means : to be directly overhead
In astronomy it means : the culmination, at a given point, of a planet, star, constellation, etc. is the time within the diurnal motion when it appears on an observer's meridian.

So, I guess that's it for now. See you tomorrow!

Cubicle

So, you know what a cubicle is don't you? Here's some history: It was used in English as early as the 15th century. It eventually came to be used for small chambers of all sorts, and for small rooms or study spaces with divides which do not reach to the ceiling. Have you ever been to any of your parent's office and seen a cubicle?
It looks the same as how it's described here probably. If you have never been to any of your parent's office, look cubicle up on wikipedia. It will show you a few pictures of a cubicle. Ok? So, now that we have learnt about cubicle we can learn another word tomorrow.

Cryptography

Cipher machines were used to make cryptography. It was used to write secret codes. Many people used these during wars to send messages.
This is how a cipher machine looked like when it was used in World War II for encryption of very high-level general staff messages: It had many levers, pulleys, and other stuff like that. If you want to see the picture and other pictures of cipher machines, go to wikipedia. org.
Then, type in cryptography. Ok, bye! That's it!

Crestfallen

Once this boy in my class when I was in Fourth Grade... No names No names. We were doing P.E. We had this game where we had to jump over the cones. We all had to jump over the cones to get to the other side. Then, "the" boy was jumping over the cones and then his pants fell down. We laughed at him. He quickly put his pants back on. He told his friend that he wasn't crestfallen. But, I could tell by his red face that he was. Crestfallen was written all over his face.
                                                 The End.
This is an incident from school that happened. Not to me though.
                                            

Credulity

Guess what? Credulity means gullibility. Now, if you don't know what gullibility means, it means easily tricked. So, if you say to your young sibling like: Look, the police are going to atch and put you in jail if you don't listen.
If they think you're tricking them and they say No! That means they are not gullible. But, if they think you're telling the truth they are gullible. Ok so, I used gulible in every place I was supposed to use credulity. But' it's ok I guess. I'm sure you'd understand.

Craft

Have you been to an arts and crafts sale. Well, that's what craft is all about to me. I love to draw and would never sella great drawing of mine. Not even a craft that I made. I feel that art and crafts are  as precious as diamonds, and wouldn';t even trade the drawings I made MYSELF! That, would just be sad to me. I feel that everything I have has feelings. So, if I have to leave some thing behind that's mine or give it to an orphanage, it's a long struggle for my parents I guess! Ok, bye! I'm hungry to go to school!
