Good morning the other Day I shared with you K-1 Core Sight Words as well as Grade 2 Core Sight Words as Charlie has returned to school and is in 4th grade this year. The first thing Charlie teacher did was send them home with Spelling words for 4th Grade. The words are Core K-3 Sight words and they are supposed to study them each night for at least 10 to 15 minutes each evening. Instead of spelling them a lot she wants them to write them down as fast as they can. You would think she was trying to punish Charlie with all the fussing he has been making.

Now, Charlie breezed through the first two sets but he stumbled on this set of words and ended up missing of them the first night we worked on them. Then last night he ended up getting almost half of them right. Although two of the words are giving Charlie fights and they are laughter and daughter. If he could get those two then he should do really well on his spelling test this week.
Although I am not going to stress about it I am just going to put it into Gods hands as he knows Charlies abilities just as I do and with his support I know Charlie will do fine on his test this week. As for Charlie he can have a reduced spelling list because of his learning disability but I will not let him as I don’t want Charlie to be treated differently.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
