Spelling Information for the Week of April 11 – April 14, 2016

Dear Parents,

Homework: Write the red words eight and floor 10 times each for homework.

Red Words

Our two new second grade red words are eight and floor.

Green Words

We will continue our study about the diphthongs ow (as in clown) and ou (as in ouch) this week. The two sounds are taught together as the two (ou)’s. The ow spelling is taught first. Listen and read the following sentence. What sound do you hear that is the same in each word? How now brown cow? The ou is taught second. “If I pinch you (demonstrate gently), you will say ‘ouch.’ When I pinch the w off the ow, add a u after the o, it still says ‘ou’.” Please practice the words that contain the diphthongs ow and ou on the dictation pages that will be completed on Tuesday and Wednesday in the classroom. Continue to practice these words as your child brings them home. Weekly spelling words will come from the dictation pages or words that have a similar ow or ou pattern.

Please note that this week’s final spelling test will be on Thursday, April 14, 2016.

Thank you,

Mrs. Arp
