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.

I would also like each student to do a word building activity with their spelling words.  For example, Beautiful (see how many smaller words they can come up with from the letters in beautiful), be, it, fit, beau, tube, file, feat, beat, tab, tile but, bite, lit, fib, bet, eat, tea, etc.

Have a wonderful week!
