Good morning, How are you? Tomorrow is our first day of School. Since I want to make sure Charlie is prepared for 4th grade I have been working on Spelling with him at home. So this morning I wanted to bring you 4th Grade Spelling Words: Week 2 because I had brought you week 1 last week. As some children had returned to school then. I wish you and your family a safe and Blessed week as they begin there journey this year.
This week we look at the next set of words! If you missed last week’s words… get them here!
For your spelling notebook you can use a spiral of even a 3-leaf binder that you put notebook paper in, and the kids can design the front of the cover. Or you can download the cover able and decorate their notebook using the cover we made. As for Charlie and I we purchased a 3 Ring Binder with the plastic cover, and it allows us to slide the cover inside it as well as that week’s words so even if the notebook is closed Charlie can still see his words for the week.
I put 10 pieces of Notebook paper in Charlie’s notebook each week. As this gives him one sheet for each day of the week and if he messes a sheet of paper up, he has extra or if he needs extra paper, he has some. This way there isn’t too much paper to overwhelm Charlie or distract him. Nor do we have to spend time waiting for Charlie to find paper to use.
I also put in a clear pencil bag with a regular pencil, a mechanical pencil, eraser, one highlighter to be used that week, a pencil sharpener and a couple crayons encase we do any drawing that week. Along with a set of sticky notes encase one of us needs to mark something and get back to it quickly.
Once Charlie opens his binder, I have a page with the things Charlie is required to have done by Friday. It doesn’t matter if he does them all in one day or one assignment a day. They just have to be done and checked for Friday morning. As we have a spelling test on Fridays and all work must be turned in and completed before Charlie begins his spelling test.
Here is what the front page would look like
This week I expect the following assignments to be done and completed no, later that Thursday evening and turned in on Friday morning before your Spelling test.
I ( \Charlie) agree to turn in all my competed Spelling assignments in on ( ) by 10am if not completed I will receive a 0 for that assignment. Anything 70 and below will need to be redone and submitted on Monday morning before class begins. Failure to do so means no free time the following week.
