Dear Parents:
Please click on the Word Wall tab above to read more about this week's word-wall words called "Chunky Challenges." Your child will be assessed on these words on Friday. Please also make sure you and your child have a regular routine for practicing all the word-wall words taught over the entire year. The cumulative list is on the word-wall page and you can find all the words there.
For the remainder of the year, your child's weekly assessment will consist of using known words to spell rhyming words that share the same "Power Part." For example, instead of being asked to spell rain, your child may be asked to spell chain. To be successful at this, your child will need to independently figure out which word-wall word rhymes with chain and then use its power part (-ain) to spell chain. This is an important part of becoming a second-grade speller, so please support your child as needed... not only these last few weeks of school, but throughout the summer months as well. Thank you! :)
