Spelling lists will go home on Friday for the coming week.  The students will be given a pre-test to determine if they are on the regular spelling list or the challenge list.  All of the students will have the same four sight words on their list.  We will work with the words throughout the week, but it is very important that they study them at home.  Our tests will be on Friday.  We will not usually have a spelling test on weeks that are not a full five days.

This year, we will be using SpellingCity.com in our classroom. SpellingCity is a website that helps students learn their weekly spelling words while having fun at the same time. As a teacher, I will put up my weekly spelling lists on SpellingCity and your children can review the words, and play spelling games with their words to reinforce the learning process. Here’s how to help your child master his or her spelling words:
Simply go to www.spellingcity.com to see how the site works. To get started, click on “Sample Lists” and choose any list you like. Then try the Teach Me, Test Me, or Play A Game link. You can find our class spelling lists by simply clicking on “Find a List” and typing in my name, Cassie Herd. The lists will appear and your child can immediately start using it to practice his or her words. Many kids enjoy building their spelling skills with Spelling City. Please encourage your children to study before their weekly test. Let’s work together as a team to ensure that your child becomes an independent, lifelong learner.
