Word Sorts - Write one word per notecard. Then sort into sets.<BR>ABC order; shortest to longest; one syllable, two syllables, more than 2 syllables;long e; short a, etc. Can you think of any other sorts? <BR>2. Rhyme Time - Choose five words. Write as many rhymes for the words as possible in 5 minutes. Extension: Choose more words, write more rhymes. Can you use these rhyming words and write your own poem?<BR>3. Do this activity with a partner. Choose a Short Vowel word. Think of a word that has the same vowel sound. Give clues until your partner guesses the word.<BR>****************************************************************************<BR><U><STRONG><FONT size=6>WORD WALL WORDS</FONT></STRONG></U></SUB></FONT><BR><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"><SUB><STRONG>SPELLING WORDS</STRONG>: <BR>Each week we'll snap, clap, cheer our Word Wall words, as well as see and say the words. We'll also learn to "body spell." We will add our new words each week to our dictionary in our School Folder. During this time, students will be monitored for correct letter formation. At the beginning of each week, your child will bring home a list with the week's words. These words will become part of the word wall and will be revisited throughout the year. Please know that just memorizing the words for a test on Friday will not help your child save the word in long-term memory. <BR></SUB><FONT color=#0000ff><SUB><B>MATH WORDS</B><BR>Watch for updates each six weeks.<BR></SUB></FONT></P></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT> Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
