High Frequency Words

We will be working on spelling the First 300 High Frequency words with a spelling test each Friday. During the week please practice reading, writing and nicely printing these words. The words this week are: 




Phonics: Drop -e Rule, Y-I Rule

-We learned another spelling rule for when we add suffixes -ER, -EST, -ED, and -ING to words
-If the word ends with a silent E, we drop or take away the E before we add a suffix.  For example, if I want to add -ING to the word hope I take away the E and add -ING: hoping
- If the word ends with a y, you change it to i before adding the suffix - except for when adding -ing!

-We wrote a secret message to another student in the class
-Then we practiced writing out all of the steps in a story plan
-Finally we wrote a personal narrative about it

-We then created our own geometric art (an ice cream cone, pineapple, or flower)
-It was a lot tricky than it looks!
