Spelling

This year, students will be receiving a leveled list each week.

Please see your child's Google Classroom for the weekly list and the activities.

Day 1: Look! Say! Cover! Write! Check! (4 x each patterned word)

1. Fold one page in your spiral in half.

2. Label top front and top back of your notebook pages columns 1, 2, 3, 4.

3. In column one, write the patterned words from your spelling list (8-9 words).

4. Begin the activity by looking at the word in column one, saying it aloud, covering the word, writing it from memory in column 2, and then checking to see if it is correct. If it isn’t correct, make corrections.

5. Bold the pattern in the word by writing over the letters that form the pattern several times.

6. Do the same steps for columns 3 and 4.

Day 2: Write and Illustrate Watch Out Words

1. Fold one page in your spiral spelling notebook in half.

2. Write one Watch Out Word at the top of each column. It is really IMPORTANT to spell your words CORRECTLY.

4. Illustrate your sentences.
