Good morning, welcome to Standard Dolch List for Grade 4: Work It Out Spelling Words Weeks 1, 2 & 3. Inside this post you will find the list or words as well as a Freebie you can use in your classroom. Along with last week’s Spelling Words. Inside here I also shared with you what Charlie and I do for spelling each week. Have a wonderful week and if you do something different come share it with us.
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. If your needing Binder covers for the kids check out my Freebie page as we have the Binders for you for each of their classes. Or can download the cover we designed for you and decorate their notebook using this cover we made.
Charlie and I we purchased a 3 Ring Binder with the plastic cover which 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. Once each week is over, we staple everything together and move it into a file folder so I can see each week’s words at any time.
I put 10 pieces of Notebook paper in Charlie’s notebook each week as this gives Charlie one sheet for each day of the week and if he messes up a sheet of paper up, he has extra or if he needs more paper for his spelling, he has extra paper and doesn’t have to look for it. This way there isn’t too much paper to overwhelm Charlie or distract him.
I also put in a clear pencil bag with a regular pencil, a mechanical pencil, eraser, one highlighter to be used that week, and a pencil sharpener and a couple crayons encase we do any drawing that week. Along with a set of post it notes encase one of us needs to bookmark something and get back to it quickly.
When 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 than 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.
