Unit 5 Spelling Words

Our new core words have been introduced to the students.  They have until November 10th to learn these words.  Don’t forget about reviewing the “no excuse” words too.

Ideas to help your child study: (1) Write the words 3 times each. (2) Use the words in sentences. (3) Create  word trees. (4) Ask your child to spell one of the words each day.

Core Words:

going

important

school

want

world

Monday, October 10th

  Spelling:  Due to the holiday on Monday, we will not introduce new spelling words this week.  However, it is still recommended that you continue to work on those “no excuse” words.  New core words will be written in student’s planners and posted on blog next Monday.

Grammar:  We are currently working on antonyms and identifying nouns both – common and proper.  We will continue to review the four types of sentences.  We are also working on identifying and correcting sentence fragments and run-on sentences.
