Throughout the year the children will be studying words in a variety of formats. We will choose a variety of poems and draw our spelling words from them. In addition, we will study the phonetic structure of words by following a phonics-based program as well.
Words are chosen on Mondays and a pre-test is given to check their spelling knowledge. During the week we will do a number of literacy activities to reinforce our spelling and vocabulary skills.
Spelling Poem for Week of September 29
(Words that are bold-face are the words to learn and study)
A Poem Is a Little Path
A poem is a little path
That leads you through the trees.
It takes you to the cliffs and shores
To anywhere you please.
Follow it and trust your way
With mind and heart as one
And when the journey's over
You'll find you've just begun.

It's so nice to have our own blog. I would love to see more pics posted on the blog. Cheers!
I agree, photos will be very important to let parents get a peek at what happens in our classroom everyday. I need to check on the legal ramifications of posting the kids faces in public domain before I can go ahead with this. I'll look into it as soon as Mr. Harrington returns.
Thanks for your feedback!
