Now that you have the vocabulary, what is the pattern in the sequence of the words?
Next, find and circle the vocabulary words in the puzzle grid below. You can use the square symbol to the left of each word in your list to keep track of the "found" words (please DO NOT cross off your vocabulary words)!
