Spelling: Spelling Test this
Friday, May 3rd. Alabama Fact
should come from page 6 and must be a fact not previously studied. We have
finished all of our spelling units in our workbook. Spelling tests will now be
on words previously studied. These words can be found on the back inside cover
of the Spelling workbook. I have also given students a paper copy of the
words. Words for the test this week
will come from Column 1 of the list. Students will have Spelling homework
assignments each night to help in their study of these words. Students should
prepare by reviewing this list of words and focusing on the words that are more
difficult for them. There will be no classroom words. We are now focusing on prefixes and suffixes.
Students will be required to write two sentences on their Spelling test- one
sentence with a word including a prefix and one sentence with a word including
a suffix.
Prefix for next week: Mis- meaning “incorrectly” and the
Suffix is –Ing, meaning “happening now”
Spanish:
A quiz is coming up soon.
