Spelling

Each week we will have 15 spelling words; these spelling words will always have a specific pattern or commonality among the words on the list. So far was have focused on words with the short a sound, short e sound, short i sound, and short o sound. This week's spelling words have the short u sound, spelled with a u or an o, such as bubble and nothing. Each student brought his/her spelling list home today to practice. We will continue to practice these spelling words throughout the week, with our test on Friday.
The following website, Spelling City, is a good resource to help students practice their spelling words at home. Check it out if you get a chance!

Spelling List Change

Our spelling lists each week will be a bit different from now on. The list will consist of 10 words from the weekly spelling pattern, but it will now also include 5 frequently misspelled words. These are words that are frequently misspelled in student's everyday writing. Let me know if you have any questions.
