These words are from our story, Officer Buckle and GLORIA.

Ideas for word practice:
ALWAYS - make a set of letters for this word. See how many words you can spell with those letters. (Answer: AWAY, WAY, SAY, LAY, WAS, SAW, LAWS, SLAY, SWAY...)

Try the same for each of the spelling words. Answers to come soon.

Printing Skills

One of our daily routines for the first few weeks of school will be to practice our printing skills.
When checking your child's agenda, look for letters sitting on the base line, and a full space between each word. One of the most common errors in early printing development is to ignore the base line and spacing.

In our daily penmanship time, we are practicing each letter of the alphabet.

In some cases, I will be sending home extra printing practice sheets if extra work is needed. These extra practice papers can be returned to me for checking; however, feel free to check them yourself for base line and word spacing.

Thank-you.
