Spelling

Good morning,

A few notes about spelling in our classroom.

 

Every student has the same word list. These are 4th grade level words and all students will encounter them on tests, readings, and in all areas of curriculum during this school year. Practicing the words is a very important task. There are 2 components for practicing spelling that students will be expected to complete: Homework Spelling Menu and In Class Tic Tac Toe for Word Work.

Students came home with a Spelling Menu. They are to complete 30 points worth of activities over a 2 week time span. Our first spelling test will be Fri. Oct. 12th. All spelling activities will be due on that day. We will be adding spelling to our daily planner right under Reading Log. Encourage your student to complete a few activities this week and a few next week, not all at once. If they complete all 30 points by tomorrow and the test isn’t until a week from Friday, they may forget their words and not do as well had they practiced every other day.

Students are also responsible for completing Word Work spelling activities in class throughout the 2 weeks. We have a Spelling Tic Tac Toe board. Students are expected to keep track of their progress and turn this in every Friday in class.

If you have any questions please let me know!

Happy Wednesday 🙂

-Mrs. Whitford
