What a great first FULL week!
We are
working hard and learning so much in first grade!
Here’s a peek at next week:
Phonics- short e
Phonics Based Spelling Pattern: let, get, pet, met, ten, then, went, bed, red, yes
Phonics Based Spelling Pattern: let, get, pet, met, ten, then, went, bed, red, yes
Challenge: sentence, extra, measure, ready, never,
guess, weather, heavy, second, excellent
We will
not be taking spelling tests this year. Research has found that weekly spelling
tests have not proven to help students be better spellers. We will focus
on phonetic patterns in words and individual student's misspelled sight word
vocabulary. The expectation is for students to be able to spell AND apply
the spelling/phonics pattern for the week in their own writing.
