Spelling Information for the Week of February 5, 2018 to February 9, 2018

Dear Parents,

Red Word Focus

The new 3^rd Quarter Red Words for the week will be the words yellow and should. These words are non-decodable words and do not follow the rules of phonics. The review Red Words are knew and were. Please remember, each student must receive a 100 percent for two weeks in a row to receive a final grade for the Red Words knew and were. Students will take a test over these four Red Words on Friday, February 9, 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 diphthong ow – /ow/as in clown and ow – /o/ as in snow. 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 ow patterns on their Friday, February 9, 2018, spelling test.

Reading Focus

We will continue our reading focus with the genre, “Fairy Tales.” Students will identify the elements of fairy tales, recount stories to determine their central message, lesson, or moral, identify character traits, and learn to compare and contrast two versions of the same story. (CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.2, 2.9) Our writing focus continues to be opinion writing (CCSS. ELA-W2.1), and our grammar focus will continue to be verbs/irregular verbs. (CCSS.ELA-L2.1d)

The final spelling test for the Red Words knew and were and Green Word Pattern ow will be on Friday, February 9, 2018.

Thank you,

Mrs. Arp
