# Vocabulary 00: Welcome to the FACS Room

Unit 0, Launch. The unit's Tier 3 words across the five days, with a one-line definition written for a grade 6 to 7 reader and columns for Turkish, Portuguese, and Spanish.

**Translation status: [check with a native speaker].** The Turkish, Portuguese, and Spanish columns are working translations and have not been verified by a native speaker. Use them for word banks and picture cards; have a native speaker, a bilingual colleague, or the ENL teacher check the whole table once before it is printed for students. Where a term is a classroom routine rather than a plain word (do now, reset cue, role card), the translation gives the meaning, and the English term stays on the card too, because students will hear it every day.

How lessons use this file: each lesson names its own Tier 3 words; the handout for that lesson carries a word bank pulled from this table in the three languages. The reset cue and the five decision steps are also on wall posters in all four languages.

Notes:
- Unit 1's vocabulary list (`Vocabulary 01.md`) uses the same translations for hazard and sanitation; keep them matching if one is corrected.
- The Spanish column is new in this unit because Sal's sections may include Spanish speakers; at Brentwood the translations were Turkish and Portuguese only.
