Spelling Information for the Week of December 12, 2016 to December 16, 2016

Dear Parents,

HOMEWORK: 2^nd Quarter Red Word Review: Write each 2^nd quarter red word and vocabulary word 3 times each for Tuesday’s homework. (many, also, black, these, why, around, don’t, push, its, it’s, eye, above, herd, transplant, and intermission)

Green Word Study

Our “Green Word” pattern for the week will be –ew. The students know one way to spell /oo/ ---oo as in zoo, and now they will learn another way to spell it –ew as in few. Students will be given words that contain this –ew pattern on a daily basis. Please practice these words as your child brings them home on dictation pages. Weekly spelling words may come from the dictation pages. Students will be expected to apply all classroom information to ten or more “-ew” words on their Friday spelling test.

Vocabulary Study

Our spelling test will also include the reading vocabulary words herd, transplant, and intermission from our reading text, Miss Holly is Too Jolly!

Red Word Study

Our red words this week will be a review test over all of the 2^nd quarter Red Words. These words are as follows: many, also, black, these, why, around, don’t push, its, it’s, eye, and above. These words are non-decodable words and do not follow the rules of phonics.

Please note that our final spelling test will be on Friday, December 16, 2016.

Thank you,

Mrs. Arp
