Unit 2 Week 1 Spelling List

I am looking forward to starting a new unit this week in our Reading Street. This week for spelling we will be focusing on the phonics skill that we have been studying in Fundations, controlled –r (/ar/, /or/, /ore/). We will resume our regular test day of Friday this week.

I will NOT be posting Bonus words this week. However, I will post our phonics study guide with a few pointers on study skills for phonics. This will be posted on Monday, September 22, 2014 by 4:00 PM.

Bonus Spelling Words

Here are the BONUS Spelling words for this week:

1. pumpkin

2. crucifix

3. bishop

4. genre

5. fiction

Remember each word is worth 1 point each. It DOES NOT count against the student if s/he misses the word.

Spelling List Unit 1 Review

We have reached the end of Unit 1 in our Spelling and Reading; therefore, this week will be a review of Unit 1. 

Below is the link to the spelling words for next week's test on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18. No school on Friday, September 19.  Be on the lookout for a post on BONUS WORDS on Monday, September 15! 

There will also be 4 dictation sentences this week due to it being a review. They, like last week, will be taken for a separate grade. Please help your student work on spacing between words in a sentence. I have been talking to them individually this week about putting a "finger" space between words if I notice they are trying to cram words together. The purpose of dictation sentences is not only to see if they can spell words correctly but a lot of it is to see if they can properly construct the sentence (i.e., spacing, capitalization, punctuation, etc.).

BONUS OPPORTUNITY

I am offering this week 5 bonus words on their spelling test. I will be doing this at least once a month. I will be sending them out via e-mail, the blog and remind 101. They will be worth 1 point each. It will be a mixture of religion words and words that I feel are necessary for them to know that are not apart of our spelling units.

This week's words are:

1. baptism

2. sacrament

3. September

4. Jesus

5. autumn

The plan for these words are not only to be an incentive for extra points on spelling tests but also to extend their spelling knowledge, especially for religion.

In His footsteps,

Mrs. Duke
