Spelling with long /e/

Today in class we found 6 different ways to spell the long e sound. The 4 most common ones that we will be reviewing this week are e, ee, ea, and ie. Be careful as we found out that a lot of these words have a companion word that sounds the same, but these words have different meanings, and are spelled different. This is what we call homonyms like in the words: meet - meat; read - reed; sea - see; and a whole lot more (at some point this year I usually have the students make a homonym list).

Here is the list of spelling words for this week:

Also a quick note the Literacy Night that was planned for this Thursday night has been postponed until November 10th.
