"Word Work" is the topic that we use to teach about spelling rules and vocabulary.  Each week we will be introduced to a new spelling pattern and doing a lot of different activities to learn how this pattern is used in many different words. 

​

This year we're going to be learning some studying skills that will help us practice these words each week.  The students will be bringing home their spelling list at the beginning of each week and they should choose a targeted practice activity to use at home (either printed at home from the provided files, or picked up in the classroom).  They can bring this targeted practice back to school and turn it in for bonus class cash!

​

Here is our weekly routine:

​

Day 1: We learn about our target skill for week and record our list in our agenda.

Day 2 and 3: We will use games and activities in class to continue practicing our word patterns and learn vocabulary strategies.

Day 4: We will have our end of the week spelling test to see how we’ve improved.
