As a 5th grade teacher, I've noticed that there are many words that students are not recognizing as they are reading in class. I've decided to take some of the vocabulary words that are important to the 5th grade curriculum to use for "spelling" class. We will be doing a number of things in class to pronounce words, practice words, define words, & spell these words. At home, I will expect students to write complete sentences using each of these words. This homework will be due on Fridays each week. We will not be having the traditional spelling test, but I will expect that words are spelled correctly as we use them in our sentences and in class. The lists for each week are posted down below, so if students would like to get a jump on them, they may!
Week 13-15
Week 16-18
