Good morning, can you believe it is already September? Where is the time going? This is week 3 of school for Charlie. I wanted to bring you the Standard List for Grade 2 Sight Words Weeks 7, 8 & 9. Welcome to our Homeschooling Resource Sight Words Weeks 7, 8 and 9 for 2nd grade. I hope these help you out in your classroom.
I have a question for you do you use a workbook or an online Spelling program to teach your children spelling? For our family we have been using a workbook each year, but Charlie is getting tired of the workbook and the spelling words in it are too easy for Charlie. Since this was the case, I have created this new Homeschooling Resource which contains the Sight Words for weeks 1, 2, 3 for 2nd grade. I also have 3rd Grade and also 4th Grade Spelling words if you need them.
Homeschool Resource Sight Words Week 7, 8 and 9 for 2nd grade and time for Spelling. I hope these Sight Word pages make spelling easier for you as they have for me and David. With us doing the same thing in Spelling each week Charlie know what is expected of him each day and I can move on the things I need to do. Is it this way in your classroom as well?

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 me 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.
