Update:  Please make sure to check over your child's homework trackers.  It 
is to be a "final copy".  It should not be the child's first draft.  Please 
have your child use a pencil so that corrections can be made.  Also, I 
recommend the first draft be on a piece of scratch paper.  Please ask your 
child to do a variety of responses.  I would prefer a different type of 
response each night.  I greatly appreciate all of the help and care that you 
give regarding your child's homework.  I enjoy reading their trackers and am 
pleased with some of the great book choices being made.

Dear Parents,

We have begun spelling.  We have two groups, the Ridley Sea Turtles and the 
Leatherbacks.  They are all wonderful turtles but may learn differently.  If 
your child likes to work on the computer, just go to SpellingCity.com and 
type in your child's list.  They can play games and practice their words for 
the week.  If you feel spelling is especially difficult for your child, I 
recommend making it a "multi-sensory" experience.  You can use shaving cream 
and have them spell words into it.  You can put sandpaper under paper, write 
the words over the paper with crayon and then have your child feel the bumps 
to practice their words.  Some kids respond better to music.  Some do better 
if they have to spell the word using their entire arm and writing it in the 
air.  Others like to manipulate magnetic letters to practice.  We will try 
some different methods at school and try some at home too.  I would like 
everyone to practice a little each day so that they can feel successful at 
school.  The spelling tests will be each Thursday.  New lists will always be 
in the homework folder.  If I can not get the list into the folder on time, I 
will post a list for each group right here on my website.  Have fun 
practicing.  I will directly teach letter "chunks" that are common in many 
words to the children who need this instruction.  This will not only improve 
their writing and spelling but their reading as well.
Thanks so much for working with your child at home.
