Homework for Wednesday, October 15, 2014

Once again, we will be learning about consonant blends. Blends this week will be “s” blends. Unlike the digraphs (ch-, sh-, wh-, th-) where the two letters make one sound, each sound of a blend is heard, but the sounds are blended together. Your child will use the practiced words in class to identify consonant “s” blends within words on the Friday spelling test.

Students will be required to spell three more “red words” on his/her final spelling test on Friday. Our red words for this week are knew, many, and often. Our spelling test this week will also include a review of our previous red words on our “Word Wall.” These words are as follows: above, almost, also, always, around, black, brother, buy, call, does, don’t, each, eight, eye, father, floor, friend, ghost, girl, goes, and its.

Please practice each new and review red word on a nightly basis. This week’s final spelling test will be on Friday, October 17, 2014.
