Good afternoon!
Last week I sent home a note stating that we would be beginning our spelling program this week. Today, all the students were given their first word list and word sort. Each Monday the kids will be given two lists (containing the same words). One list will be sorted out in class and put in their "Word Sorts" folder. The other list will be taken home so that they may use it to practice their words at home. Attached to the letter were two pages of fun ways to practice spelling at home.
The list that your child has started on is based on an assessment from the same company. This program targets spelling patterns, instead of generating a random list of "third-grade words". There is a pattern and flow to the lists, some skills build upon one another, some are independent of other lists.
Thank you for your patience during the first couple of weeks of the program as we work out all the details!
