In First Grade, we will continue to practice our spelling skills daily. A list of all of the spelling words covered in First Grade is located in the Resources section at the back of students’ GO Binder. You may also download a copy of the 30 Lists of the Spelling Words above.
Students are expected to complete their spelling homework when assigned. Students are expected to use the lines in their tablets to practice their handwriting. It is important that you check their homework each day to ensure they are writing neatly and legibly.
Please have students use “best-guess” spelling and their spelling strategies when writing their own sentences. If a word cannot be read, please write the correct spelling underneath so I know what the word is. Although spelling DOES NOT need to be perfect, the spelling words used should be spelt correctly.
Students have written an example of what the format of each spelling day should look like in their tablets. Students should not be skipping pages between each day and the days should go in order from 1-5.
