Words Of The Week

Today we were given our first set of words of the week. These words are recorded in our agendas, personal dictionaries and posted on the classroom word wall. We will practice them throughout the week through various activities and games. The boys and girls are expected to be practicing and reviewing these words at home as well. All words become "no excuse" words and should always be spelled correctly (since they are posted on the word wall, personal dictionaries and practiced regularly).

Some ideas for practicing the words this week:

- write them using a fun marker or pen on note paper
- while the weather is still nice write them on the sidewalk with chalk
- we learned a chant for the word "because"... have your child sing this in the bath or shower
- discuss the word could.. what else can you spell if you can spell could?
