We have started Spelling in our class. I conducted a Spelling Assessment to determine what types of lessons and spelling patterns to start with. You have probably noticed your child coming home with Spelling homework. Here is the schedule of weekly Spelling work:
IN CLASS-
Monday:Students receive their new list for the week. They cut apart these words for Morning Work
Tuesday: Lesson on the spelling pattern. Discuss meaning of words and point out any homonyms, such as weigh and way or slay and sleigh.
Wednesday: Add homonyms to our "Wonderful Word Wall"
Thursday: Edit sentences from last night's homework
Friday: Spelling Test
HOMEWORK-
Monday: Write words in alphabetical order in Student Planner
Tuesday: Sort words on Sort Sheet
Wednesday: Write 10 SMART sentences using 10 different spelling words. Smart sentences should answer 3 or more of these questions- Who? What? (action) Where? When? Why? How?
Example:
Julia had to coax her dog by putting treats all the way to the
Who? What? How?
bathroom so she could give him a warm bath.
Where? Why?
Thursday: Practice Test- 1)Have someone call out the words for you. 2)Rewrite any wrong words correctly and underline or highlight the part you got wrong. 3)Write the word correctly 3 times.
