Definition: Yielding, pliant; docile; ready or apt to learn; not froward.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
Today we’re tackling the word “toward,” it’s quite a clever thing, you see.
The dictionary gives us clues, a helpful glossary for me!
It says "yielding," soft and bendy, like a willow in the breeze,
"Pliant" means it's easy to shape, if you please!
Then “docile” comes into play, suggesting quiet and calm,
Not fussy or resistant, avoiding any harm.
And most importantly, "ready to learn," with eagerness bright,
Not stubborn or defiant, shining a hopeful light!
So “toward” means moving
towards
something new, you see,
With an open mind and spirit, happy and free!
It can also mean
in the direction of
, a path we choose to roam,
Like walking
toward
the sunshine, finding our way home.
Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about "toward" today?
