Spelling Information for the Week of January 16, 2018 to January 19, 2018

Dear Parents,

HOMEWORK: Write each 3^rd Quarter Red Word 10 times each for Wednesday’s homework.

Red Words: always, brother

Red Word Focus

The 3^rd Quarter Red Words for the week will be the words 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. Students will take a test over these Red Words on Friday, January 19, 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 introduction to the r-controlled vowels. These are introduced as the three / ər /’s or the bossy r. The spelling er is the most frequently used of the three / ər /’s and should be the first choice when making an educated guess about how to spell a word with an / ər /. 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 / ər / pattern on their Friday, January 19, 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 be verbs/irregular verbs.(CCSS.ELA-L2.1d).

The final spelling test for the Red Words always and brother and Green Word Pattern er will be on Friday, January 19, 2018.

Thank you,

Mrs. Arp
