NEW WORD WORK REQUIREMENTS

A new Tic-Tac-Toe form will be coming home next week. The purpose is to focus on improving our sentence fluency. Students will be required to:

  • write 12 sentences in their word work notebook each week. The sentences must incorporate the weekly grammar practice. All sentences should have correct conventions. This includes beginning the sentence with a capital letter and having correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
  • write their spelling words 3-5 times each. The purpose is to practice correct spelling AND neat penmanship. 
  • glue the words correctly in a pattern sort into the word work notebook. Students should not glue their words until they are sure of their sort.


Other activities that should be completed at home, but will not be required to return are:

  • speed sort
  • blind sort
  • quiz
  • word hunt
  • pattern sort with explanation
