Applying Spelling

Beginning this third trimester, the 2nd grade teachers are adding four spelling words each week.  These are not words to practice, rather they are words to apply.  We want to see how well your 2nd grader is able to use the spelling pattern introduced for the week.  We know that spelling requires some memorization.  We want to make sure the spelling words don't just become something to learn for the week and then not use again.

Your 2nd grader is bringing home a sheet with four words from last week on it tonight.  You will be able to see how well your 2nd grader did.  Each week from now to the end of the year there will be four additional spelling words that your 2nd grader will not be able to study given each Thursday or Friday.  This can only help your child's spelling grade, it will not count against him or her.

Until next time.....

Mrs. Hippen
