Spelling Words and Tests

This Monday we will begin having weekly spelling words and tests.  Each Monday I will introduce words for each grade that will be a focus for the week.  We practice these words each day, but additional help and practice at home is always beneficial.  Spelling tests will be each Friday, and their test will be sent home in their Spelling duotang.  Please look over the test, sign it, and return the duotang to school the following Monday.

The focus of these tests from my perspective is to see the progress of the students and to focus on a small group of words at a time to work on.  I don't want the students to stress over a test, getting words wrong, or making mistakes.  I will do a practice test with them a few times this week so that they know what to expect.

These words build the foundation for future reading skills so please help your child at home with learning these words. These will be the spelling words for the week of September 30th to October 4th:

Grade One
I
a
we
and
one
two

Grade Two
think
thank
them
then
give
giving
