Our spelling words this week included words with the oi or oy spelling pattern. Many of these words were "brain words," meaning that you can't always sound them out. Students also worked on shortening "stringy" sentences (sentences that are too long and have several "ands"), as well as finding synonyms.
We also continued our review of cursive handwriting, and practiced writing letters of thanks to teachers/associates that help us learn at KE in honor of American Education Week. Students did a great job writing heartfelt letters to staff!
* A note regarding our spelling lists - I don't send home a weekly list, but you're welcome to practice at home too. Our spelling words are all entered on the website spellingcity.com . Simply click on the title of our current reading story to find the list of words we are studying. Students use the spelling city website frequently at school, and are encouraged to play the games at home too.
