For the first nine weeks grading period all

second grade students will follow this outline for spelling homework:

Monday: Write 5 sentences using as many spelling words as possible. Underline each spelling word that you use. Please use a capital letter for the beginning of each sentence and a period (.), question mark (?), or exclamation mark (!) at the end.

Tuesday: “Rainbow Writing” – Using crayons, Crayola markers, or colored pencils write all 12 of your spelling words in color. You may write them any way you wish. Suggestions: write one entire word in red, write the next word in orange, the next word in yellow, etc. Or you could write each letter in the word a different color. You could write each consonant in a different color and always do the vowels in blue. Be creative but you must be neat!!!

Wednesday: Alphabetical order:  Using paper and pencil, write all 12 of your spelling words in alphabetical order. Write your words in a column going down the paper. Please write neatly. Remember if you have words that begin with the same letter, you must alphabetize by the second or even the third letter.

Thursday: “Pretest at home”! Tonight your parent or guardian will be the teacher! Use a sheet of notebook paper and a pencil. An adult will call your spelling words to you just like the teacher will on Friday. After you have written all of your words, the adult should “check” your paper. If you misspell a word, you should practice that word…..perhaps write it 3 to 5 times and have the adult call it to you again to write from memory. The adult needs to sign the pretest. The pretest will be turned in to your reading teacher on Friday morning.

Homework should be written on notebook paper

You may write on the back of the paper

NEAT WORK PLEASE!!

Each week 10 spelling words will be given that fit a pattern. Your child will be responsible for knowing those 10 words PLUS 5 additional words that fit the same pattern and 5 review words. When students are able to apply the pattern to other words, it shows that they have not just memorized their spelling words, but have learned the rule of the pattern in order to spell other words.
