Dear kindergarten families,

Spelling will begin next week. Your child will have 8 spelling words each week. Four of the words will fit a pattern. For example, this week we will study the –at word family. Your child will be given hot words within the –at family to study on Monday. The cold words will be given to them when they receive their spelling test, and will look different than the hot words, but will still come from the same word family. The purpose of the cold words is to see if your child can apply the studied pattern for the week. The last four words will be from the DOLCH spelling list. (Basic high-frequency words). Please have your child practice spelling activities at home. I will send home the spelling list every Monday. We will have a test every Friday, unless there is no school on Friday. In that case, we will have the test on Thursday.

Thank you,

Ms. Abulhassan
