Spelling Information for the Week of January 23, 2017, to January 27, 2017

Dear Parents,

HOMEWORK: Write each red word and vocabulary word 5 times each for Tuesday’s homework. (other, sister, brother, always, millions, drift, wrapped, disgusting)

Green Word Study

Our “Green Word” pattern for the week will be learning about “r-Controlled Vowels.” They are introduced as the three / er /’s or bossy r. The first of the three will be the spelling er which is the most frequently used. It should be the first choice when making an educated guess about how to spell a word with an / _er_ /.

Please practice the -er 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 “-er” words on their Friday spelling test.

Vocabulary Study

Our spelling test will also include the reading vocabulary words millions, drift, wrapped, and disgusting. These vocabulary words are from our informational reading selection, “Jellies,” in our Journeys textbook. We will be researching and reading about jellyfish throughout the week.

Red Word Study

Our two new red words will be other and sister. Our two review red words are once again always and brother. These words are non-decodable words and do not follow the rules of phonics. Please remember, each student must receive a 100 percent for two weeks in a row to receive a final grade for all red words.

Please note that our final spelling test will be on Friday, January 27, 2017.

Thank you,

Mrs. Arp
