Welcome!

Hello Everyone!

I am so excited for the school year, it has been a pleasure to get to know your children over the past few weeks. The kids will be learning how to spell a lot of words this year and will have a spelling test every Friday. Spelling lists will be given to students to take home on Monday morning. In addition,  this blog will provide a PDF of the spelling lists for the year, interactive games and videos to help your child study. In the past, this blog has been a great way for the kids to learn their spelling words in a fun and interactive way. I am excited to use it again this year with all of you! As always, feel free to reach out to me at anytime with any questions or concerns. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR WORKING WITH OUR SCHOLARS AT HOME! 😊

Thank you,
Ms. Meyer

P.S. Spell and Gravity are Ms. Meyer's favorite spelling practice games!

Spelling Lists

The spelling lists for the year can be found on this link. If your child misplaces his or her spelling list, simply scroll through here to find it. Each list is based on the story we are reading in class. Spelling words are passed out on Mondays. The students should study each night and will take a spelling test on Friday. *Vocabulary words will not be tested but it is encouraged to review them with your child to further their vocabulary knowledge.

Nightly Homework Example

When Charlie McButton Lost Power Spelling

Spelling Practice Games

This week our focus on VCCV words.
V=vowel (aeiou, sometimes y)
C= consonants (all other letters)

Example:     VCCV Word:  lettuce
                                              VCCV
           
Each spelling word contains this pattern, knowing this will help to spell the words as well as pronounce them. VC/CV

*The / indicates where the syllables separate.

What About Me Spelling

Spelling Practice Games

This week our focus is on plural nouns. Plural nouns indicate more than one noun (person, place, thing, or animal). When we write plural nouns we add the suffixes es or s.

Example:     Root Word: plant
                    Suffix: s

When we add the suffix to the root word, we change it's meaning.      plant+s=plants

The suffixes we are working with this week to help us understand plural words are:

-es
-s

This week our focus is on suffixes. Suffixes are added to the end of a root word and change the words meaning.

Example:     Root Word: great
                    Suffix: est

When we add the suffix to the root word, we change it's meaning.      great+est=greatest

The suffixes we are working with this week are:

-est
-ing
-ed
-er
