Weekly Spelling Homework

 

*All spelling homework should be completed in the "H Book".

*There will be a pre-test given every Monday. This gives us an idea of your child's background knowledge of the skill. 

 

 

 Monday - Write spelling words 1-10 three times each. Please number in the margins. 

 

Tuesday - Write spelling words 1-10 three times in ABC order.  For the first 2  months  of school we will send home colored mini index cards with each word and it's respective number that we completed in class earlier that day. Eventually the children will complete ABC order independently during classtime.

 

 Wednesday - Write 5 sentences using the first 5 spelling words. For the first few weeks we will model 2 sentences in school and the children will write 3 on their own for HW. Sentences should be 3-4 words (or more if able) at the beginning of the year and gradually increased to 5-7 words. Sentences should start with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark. Underline the spelling word in each sentemce.  

At some point, in the second half of the school year, the children will be allowed to write a paragraph/story using 5 of the spelling words. This will only be on Wednesdays. 

 

Thursday - Write 5 sentences for the remaining 5 spelling words. For the first few weeks we will model 2 sentences in school and the children will write 3 on their own for HW. Sentences should be 3-4 words (or more if able) at the beginning of the year and gradually increased to 5-7. Sentences should start with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark.  Underline the spelling word in each sentence.  STUDY for spelling test on Friday.

 

Friday - Spelling test given in school. No homework.
