Week of May 8th-May12th
Specials are at: 1:05-1:50
Spelling All students in my classroom were given a "Words Their Way" spelling assessment last week. I am using this spelling program because the assessment allow me to pinpoint exactly where the spelling "gaps" are if a child is not being successful. It also allows for enrichment for students working above grade level. Students will be grouped according to their scores. However, all students will do the same activities with their words. Much of these activities will be done as homework. They will not have a spelling book! They will do all activities in a marble journal.
