Spelling Information for the Week of October 23, 2017, to October 27, 2017
Dear Parents,
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.
Red Word Focus
This week we will have a review test over all of the first quarter red words for 2nd grade. These words will be on our Friday spelling test. Please remember that these words are non-decodable words, and they do not follow the rules of phonics. The red words are as follows: each, call, goes, pull, girl, talk, white, friend, which, and very.
Green Word Pattern Focus
Our “Green Word Pattern” focus this week will be a review of the first quarter green word patterns. The green word patterns that were covered over the past 8 weeks have been sent home on dictation pages, classroom activities, and spelling tests. Please review all of these materials and the materials and activities completed this week for the Friday test. Examples of the Green Word Patterns are as follows: (magic e), (vowel teams ea, oa, ai), (-ng and -nk endings), (suffix –ed), and (open and closed syllables).
Once again, students will be expected to apply all previous classroom information and this week’s information to ten or more green word pattern words on the Friday, October 27th Spelling Test.
Vocabulary Focus
RI.2.5 Know and use various text features (e.g., captions, bold print, subheadings,glossaries, indexes, electronic menus, icons) to locate key facts or information in a text efficiently.
RI.2.7 Explain how specific images (e.g., a diagram showing how a machine works) contribute to and clarify a text.
Our spelling test will also include the reading vocabulary words beaver and lodge. The vocabulary words are from our informational text selection, Animals Building Homes, and various other informational texts about beavers.
Please note that our final spelling test for all words will be on Friday, October 27, 2017.
Thank you,
Mrs. Arp
