WEDENSDAY, AUGUST 29

@@@@SPELLING ACTIVITY A--DUE TODAY:

I walked around and graded this assignment for completion. I did not collect the assignment, just did a visual account. Then, we went over some of the answers, especially #4 and #7. On the last item (#7) we talked about the patterns our eyes could see in the ten spelling words. We made simple observations, like how every word begins with a vowel and most words end with a vowel.


@@@@FLASHCARDS:

This week we are just focusing on ways to study our spelling words. We are hoping to not just memorize them, but let them settle deep down into our brain in a more meaningful way.

Today you were given 10 flashcards (note cards). On the front side you were to break the work into its SYLLABLES with a dash inbetween each syllable. Also, when you write out the word, you should alternate the color of the syllable like this:

AC-CEP-TANCE

On the back of each card, you should do "stair step" or "pyramid" spelling:

A
AC
ACC
ACCE
ACCEP
ACCEPT
ACCEPTA
ACCEPTAN
ACCEPTANC
ACCEPTANCE

These are for your use. They are not an assignment.

@@@@LIFE MAP--BRING TO CLASS TOMORROW:

It does not have to be comepleted.
