Word Work
This year, we will be using "Words Their Way" as our spelling program. It is a developmental spelling program which has students work with level-appropriate word sorts in order to improve their understanding of the written language. Students will be receiving a new word sort each week. Word sorts are simply a set of words which fall into certain spelling, sound, or semantic categories. Please check your child's folder weekly to see how they are doing.
Monday: Word Sort
Students will cut and group (sort) their words based on the week's spelling pattern.
Tuesday: Make Connections
Students will look to make connections in their words to new words.
Wednesday: Writing
Students will be looking for definitions, writing sentences, or creating a story using their words.
Thursday: Buddy Practice
Students will work in pairs to take a spelling test.
Friday: Spelling Test
