Word Study: Spelling & Phonics
Every Monday students will get a new spelling list. All of the words on a particular list will follow the same rule or pattern. Every Monday (or Tuesday if school is out Monday) students will have a take home test for homework. Parents are responsible for giving the students a test over the words, just like we would do in class. The idea here is that the grown ups know which words students should be focusing on during the week.
Each student will also recieve their Tic-Tac-Toe sheets for the week. Each square on the sheet has a different homework activity that must be completed by Thursday. Homework will be due at the beginning of class every Thursday.
Friday is test time, be ready!
If a student earns a 100 or higher on 25 of their spelling tests, they will not be required to take any more spelling tests for the year!
