"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 a spelling duotang where you will find the students list of words each week, and the activities that they've picked to help them practice those words.

​

Here is our weekly routine:

​

Day 1: we will have a pre-test to help us identify which words are challenging for us.  Students will then write 10 words in their agendas that they will focus on during the week.

Day 2 and 3: we will use games and activities in class to continue practicing our word patterns.

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