Spelling and Newsletters  

Newsletters 

Newsletters are emailed every Monday and are also available on my website. Additionally, I post them in the students’ Google Classroom Homeroom for easy access.

SPELLING 

Each week, students will focus on a specific spelling skill rather than receiving a traditional spelling list. For example, one week we may focus on the "oo" sound, found in words like "school," "food," "moon," "broom," and "smooth." Spelling tests will be based on applying the weekly skill, allowing students to practice using that pattern in a variety of words.  Students will take five spelling tests each quarter. The skill of the week will be included in our classroom newsletter, which I email every Monday.  Spelling tests take place every Friday.
