Check last weeks spelling test, I gave the students two scores.One based on their ability to spell, and the other based on their handwriting. If you could nudge them with some encouragement, it would be helpful. I have been trying to emphasize two elements of handwriting. 1) Keeping the words on the baseline, and 2) the size of the letters they write. Size does matter, tall letters are tall, and short letters are short.
Yes, we will be having the Spelling test this Wednesday before Fall Break. The kids are excited, but we have lots to cover in Math (where we are counting money), and Reading about our favorite Pets. If we have time the students will write about their favorite pet.

Notice that there are several ways to spell words with the long /i/ sound. The ones we will use this week are i, y, igh, and ie. Also note that the word wind uses the same long /i/ sound. You should ask your child, why we have the word "children" on this weeks spelling list. (Base Word uses the long /i/ sound).
Reminder: Next Week we will be going on the Field Trip up to Jensen Historical Farm (it might be a bit chilly so plan accordingly).
Thank you,
Mr. R. Fisher
