Spelling Activities

Each week the fourth graders get a list of 25 spelling words. These words go along with our stories that we read through the Treasure's Reading Program.  On Monday's, Miss gives the students a pretest to introduce the words.  We then check our words and write each one we misspelled three times each and do a worksheet over the words.  On Tuesday and Wednesday's, we review our words and do word sorts and talk about their meanings.  On Thursday's, we review our words by doing a fun spelling review game,  such as "Sparkle",  or Miss Firley will bring in shaving cream for us to spell our words in.  Each night we practice our spelling words at home with our parents.  Miss Firley sent home a "Spelling Homework" sheet that gives us twelve activities to choose from.  On Friday's we do a quick review then take our test.  We love doing these activities and do very well on our test on Friday.

We also have a Spelling Center that we can do throughout the week to help us practice our spelling words.

Using shaving cream is always a fun way to practice our spelling words and it also helps clean off our messy desks.
