I sent home the spelling words on Monday and your child circled the group that they have been placed in based on the test they took in class last week.  Please remember that the students will not be getting the exact same words that are typed on the spelling sheet.  Some of the words will be the same, but I will be changing them a little bit to see if they understand the spelling pattern.  Once again, I believe that any child can memorize a word but that they truly know how to spell it if they can spell words that are similar.  An example is  I gave them the word way, if they know how to spell way then they should be able to spell sway because all they had to do is add an “s” in front of the word.

Students will have spelling homework on Thursday evening and a test on Friday.  If they have misplaced the spelling words, they will still be able to complete their homework and study for their test because I have posted them right under here:)  Your child is only responsible for the words in their group.  Happy Spelling!
