What a great first week! We've been having fun getting to know each other and working hard to learn classroom routines/procedures. I can already tell we are going to have a great year together!
Here’s a peek at next week:
Spelling words: at, hat, bad, an, ran, sat, had, am, can, that
We will have our first spelling test on Friday. The expectation is for students to be able to spell AND apply the spelling/phonics pattern for the week. In addition to the ten words listed above, we will have two mystery words that follow the same phonics pattern ( short a words this week). You will also notice a dictation sentence on the test. I will read a sentence aloud that contains a spelling word for the student to write. Dictation sentences give me the opportunity to model good sentences for students to write and to check your child's spelling and punctuation skills.
Need ideas for practicing spelling words at home?
