Spelling Information for the Week of October 26, 2015 to October 29, 2015

Dear Parents,

“Red Words”

Our red words for the week will be all second grade red words. The two red words for the week are many and also.

“Green Words”

Our second quarter continues the study of “vowel teams.” The vowel teams are often introduced by simply noting that “When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.” Green words or our vowel team that we will be focusing on this week will be ay. The vowel team ay says long a, and it generally comes at the end of a word. There will be spelling practice of this vowel team on the dictation pages that will be completed on Tuesday and Wednesday in the classroom. Please practice these words as your child brings them home. Weekly spelling words will come from the dictation pages or words that have a similar vowel team pattern.

Please note that this week’s final spelling test will be on Thursday, October 29, 2015. There is no school on Friday, October 30, 2015.

Thank you,

Mrs. Arp
