Group #2 - now, too, as, have,of, two,asked, he, on and up.

Bonus word for both groups: pounce (verb)- You pounce when you jump on something suddenly.

I would like students to use each spelling word from their list in a complete sentence.  Then they are to do some word work and find as many smaller words in each of their spelling words as they can.

There is no school for students on Friday, October 21, 2011, as teachers are travelling to the mainland for meetings.

Thanks!

Have a wonderful week! :)

Hello, I hope that everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving weekend!

This week the students will have spelling words for their homework.

Group #1:  beautiful, friendly, no, they, when, because, general, off, they've and where.

Group #2: an, going, no, this, and, had, not, to, are and has.

Bonus word for both groups:  dainty (adjective) Something is dainty when it is very delicate.

Instead of the usual homework folder this week I would like all students to use each spelling word in a complete sentence.

Have a wonderful week!
