Spelling Information for the Week of February 20, 2018 to February 23, 2018

Dear Parents,

Red Words: their, sign

Red Word Focus

The new 3rd Quarter Red Words for the week will be the words their and sign. 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 the Red Words their and sign. Students will take a test over these two Red Words on Friday, February 23, 2018.

Green Word Focus

RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words

Our “Green Word” pattern/focus for the week will be the review of our bossy – r’s er, ir, ur, and ar and or. 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 of the ir, er, ur, and ar and or patterns on their Friday, February 23, 2018, spelling test.

Reading Focus

We will begin our new book selection, Stone Fox with the genre, “Realistic Fiction.” Students will review the elements of a fictional story and continue to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text by asking and answering questions (who, what, where, when, why, and how). They will also be asked to identify how a character in a story responds to major events and challenges throughout the reading selection. (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.1, 2.3) Our writing focus continues to be opinion writing (CCSS. ELA-W2.1, RL.2.1) with an emphasis on reading closely to generate more writing, and our grammar focus will continue to be verbs/irregular verbs. (CCSS.ELA-L2.1d)

This week will be the trial spelling test for the Red Words their and sign and the weekly Green Word Review Patterns test for er, ir, ur, and ar and or. The test will be on Friday, February 23, 2018.

Thank you,

Mrs. Arp
