Students received their Words Their Way spelling lists on Monday. This list was based on the spelling placement test they were given two weeks prior. All children will receive their sorts on the first day of the week and practice their words using reinforcement activities throughout the week. They must finish three activities by Friday. Families can also practice these words using the same sheet at home. You can find that sheet here and your child's individual spelling list here. They are welcome to take their words home, as well. The sorts may be a mixture of clip art and words. Students learn to sort by sounds and spelling patterns. We did a practice test this past Friday. Students did so well! Some students will have the same list from the week prior, depending on how they did on their practice test. As we continue our study of the Volcano, we read My Mouth is a Volcano by Julia Cook. We have been discussing how to minimize interruptions by demonstrating self-control. In Cook's book, the main character has trouble learning how to wait their turn to share their thoughts. Our class discussed how to keep our thoughts in our heads while we listen to others share.
