Tuesday, February 5th Spelling Update

Inside of your child’s spelling duo-tang you will notice some changes.  All of their spelling work from Week 1 up until Week 9 has been taken out and stapled (check the agendas).  This can be for your files at home.  There is a paper enclosed that has a list of words that your child should now know how to read and spell successfully.  Continued practice of these words nightly will help increase and familiarize your child’s knowledge of words, letter sounds, and help them with their writing.

New spelling words will continue to be added to your child’s duo tang with the same expectations as before (completed and returned by Monday mornings). If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Thank you for your co-operation.
