SPELLING

Spelling words are a constant part of our daily schedule.  With a new list we copy the words out two times, go over the theme or concept we are learning about (eg. tion, sion, ian), complete a couple of worksheets, play a game as a class, incorporate the words in our journals or other LA activities, and study with a partner.  

I also allow them 2 weeks to study at home.  This should be a nightly routine.  Go over the words with your child either a few a night, ask orally, write them down, play a game (like pictionary, or hang man), and go over the theme or concept by looking for patterns. 

I want your child to feel successful at this.  This weeks results were lower than usual.  I need your support at home. 

If you are needing a copy of the words I post them on the blog site and a list will be sent home in the agenda.
