Spelling
On this page, you will find the 25 spelling words for the first 5 weeks of school. I will change each unit as I replace them in your child's binder. Simply use the drop down menu under the Unit 1 Spelling List to view the WORD SORT page that will be done for homework each Monday. This is where you will find the CHALLENGE WORDS that are not included in your child's binder. The spelling is paired with the reading story that we do each week. (For example - Week 1, we read Because of Winn Dixie so if you click on that link you will view the spelling list that correlates with that story)
I DO NOT ACCEPT LATE SPELLING HOMEWORK UNLESS YOUR CHILD WAS ABSENT. Students receive a 100% for spelling homework each week if they complete it each night. If they miss 1 homework assignment, their grade drops to a 75%, 2 nights is a 50%, 3 nights is a 25% and if they do not turn it in at all then, their grade will be a 0%. Nightly practice is the key to spelling success. Hope this is helpful!

Monday
Every Monday during class, I teach the spelling skill for the week and review the 8 syllable patterns. The students will get a head start on Monday night's homework which is WORD SORT then they will complete the rest of it at home. If your child is absent please go to this page and follow the word sort template.

Tuesday and Wednesday
Tuesday night's homework is TECH TUESDAY. This is the only night that students can use the computer to type their 25 spelling words. If your computer is broken or if you don't have a computer then your child can simply write them in cursive. If your printer is broken, out of ink, or if you don't want to waste ink then, simply email it to me.
Wednesday night's homework is SYLLABLE SPLIT. This is the night that they practice breaking each word into syllables based on the 8 syllable pattern rules. They can use print instead of cursive on this night. |
Thursday
Thursday night's homework is PARENT QUIZ.
Please give your child a practice test to see what they need to study to be prepared for the spelling test the next day. Please mark how many they missed at the top of the paper and include a parent signature. Next, have your child write the missed words 5x each in their best cursive handwriting. Spelling tests are typically each Friday but occasionally it may fall on a Thursday if there is no school on Friday. |
