There was a bit of a mix up in spelling words this week and I wanted to touch base with you so you know what to expect next week. After reviewing spelling words with the class yesterday I realized that we were not quite ready to take the test as the words were homographs and many students were not catching on to the two meanings for each word. So, we will be taking the test on either Monday or Tuesday of next week. With that being said, I have attached a new clean copy of the twenty spelling words with the definitions we discussed in class. Mind you, I only focused on one of the two meanings of the word. They do not have to use this meaning if they already had an idea in mind for a sentence. For example, minute means 60 seconds, but can also mean small. Please find time for them to study their words so that they are confident in next week's spelling words. They will not get spelling words next week.
Also, please help them memorize their poems for ELA class so they are ready to present. I had mentioned that we would spend the majority of the day presenting on March 6th, but unfortunately we will not be switching for ELA on March 5th or March 6th so that means EVERYONE will be presenting by March 4th.
I have had several students say they would be ready to present next week. That's awesome! We will definitely allow for class time to present, they also will be allotted the two extra credit points that I promised them!
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I would be happy to answer!
