Lists and Lists of Spelling!

Lists and Lists of Spelling!

I have had many parents come and ask me about spelling and I thought that I should maybe clarify what is happening in the classroom this year.

We have not actually started their spelling words yet as we are still setting up their learning logs. You may remember the learning logs from Grade 2. That is the book they placed all the spelling words and rules in. Every year, as part of the program, we need to set the learning log up again from scratch. Once their learning logs are set up and ready to go, we will get going with the spelling lists. We should be ready to go with the spelling lists either next week or the week after.

Once we start spelling, you will be able to see the lists very clearly and you will be able to download them from both that days post and from the “classfiles” box.net widget area on the right hand side. Thanks for all your enthusiasm regarding the spelling and for being so active in your child’s learning. Don’t forget as well though that we also want to encourage ideas and content in their writing! Sometimes when children are so focused on their spelling and work so hard to spell their words right, their ideas and creativity can be stifled. While we want to help them use correct spelling as part of communicating their ideas properly, we also want to have writing that is rich in ideas, vocabulary and imagination!
