We begin spelling this week. Your child will have a notebook that is kept in their reading bag. Below is the spelling homework that is assigned nightly. IF it is finished in class it is not homework then. The poetry book stays in school and is assigned during our Literacy Block. The students will be given words that illustrate the spelling pattern. The given words are the hot words. On Friday students will be given the hot words plus 3 new words (cold) that have the same pattern. This is to ensure that the spelling pattern is transferring and not just memorized. There will also be 5 sight/dolch words that are assigned for the test. These are first grade words that the students need to know.

Spelling Week 1: -an  & –ap family

van, man, plan, pan, gap, flap

Dolch words: find, three, funny, was, but
