Spelling HW instructions
Rainbow Writing- Write your spelling words in pencil and trace
over them in different colored crayons or pencils.
Mystery Words- Look at your spelling word list and fill in the missing letters.
Practice Test- It is a good idea to do this assignment on Wednesday
so you know which words you need to concentrate on studying for the test.
Have a grown up read the words and write them on the lines.
No peeking at your list!
Journal Writing- What do pets need? Write at least 2 sentences and draw a picture. I am looking for the students to do this the best that they can. They are not expected to spell every word correctly. I am looking for them to use their knowledge of letter sounds to spell the words. As long as each sound is represented by a letter, they are on the right track. For example, if they write mak for make, or tri for try, they are representing the sounds that they hear in the word.
Reminders:
Please send in all forms as soon as possible!
Friday is our first school mass at 8:30 am. Parents are welcome!

LOOKING AHEAD
This is our last story in Unit 1. Next week will be a REVIEW WEEK. The spelling words will be a combination of words from the past few weeks representing the spelling patterns we have learned.
Here’s a sneak peek---
back – sack – mix – did – rock – lock – her - your – sled – step – bump - must
We will also have a Unit test. This test covers comprehension skills, writing, phonics, high-frequency words, grammar and mechanics, all skills are from the unit. It is done in 2 parts and read aloud to the students. I will send it home for you to review, sign and return for me to keep.
Beginning in Unit 2 we will also have a reading comprehension test every Friday. Use the story sheets sent home to ask your child questions about the story.
(Who? What? When? Where? Why?)
The test also includes the high- frequency words from each selection.
I will do a practice test with the students at the end of this week so that they (and you) will see the format.
Reminders:
Wednesday 10/19- $5 dress down, wear pink for Breast Cancer
