- This week will be our last week of keyboarding. The students will continue to be encouraged to use what they have learned during keyboarding anytime they are working on the computer.
- The Bookworm Celebration for the 1st quarter will be this Wednesday, Nov. 20th. Please keep your eye out in the Worland newspaper for a picture! The goal for the first quarter was 50,000 words read (This is based on Accelerated Reader tests). The goal for the remaining three quarters of the year will be 75,000 words per quarter. Please encourage your child to read 20 minutes each night. (This will also help fulfill the Book-It reading goal.)
- The Marty Moose nutritional classes will continue this week. There will be NO Marty Moose next Wednesday due to the early release. These classes will continue through the last three Wednesdays in December. Please keep an eye out each Wednesday for a recipe that your child had an opportunity to try in class.
- Please see this week's spelling words below. These words are tricky. They are called homophones. Homophones are words that sound the EXACT same but are spelled differently (ex. be and bee). Therefore, not only does your child need to know how to spell each word, but he/she must also know when to use each word. When you study with your child this week you will need to put each spelling word in a phrase or sentence. For example, "I tripped and fell in a hole." and "The whole class was quiet.". The student must hear the word in a sentence in order to know which one to use.
- hole
- whole
- its (The cat chased its tail.)
- it's (It's sunny outside.)
- hear
- here
- won
- one
- our
- hour
- their
- there
- fur
- fir
- road
- rode
- peace
- piece
- Extra Spelling Words:
- report
- erupt
- charts
- presentation
- educational
- impressive
- certificate
- creative
There will be NO spelling words next week due to the short week. Have a great week!
Mrs. Martinez
