Spelling Lesson 8 - spelling activities are due today. Our spelling test will be on Friday.
Grade 4 Spelling – Consonant Blends
|
Grade 5 Spelling
|
Objective: To spell words with r-controlled vowels
TIP: when the letter r comes after a vowel or vowels, it sometimes changes the sound of the vowel
- Heat – heart (ar)
- Spot – sport (or)
- Cub – curb (ur)
|
Objective: to spell words in which the vowel pair ee spells the long e sound, vowel pair ea spells the long e sound, and vowel digraph ea spells the short e sound
TIP:
· Vowel pair – two vowels come together to make long vowel sound
· ee – long e in speech
· ea – long e in underneath
· ea (digraph- long or short sound) – short e in steady
|
1. Copy your spelling words into your agendas in cursive
2. Define your bonus words
3. Complete spelling lesson activities
4. Hand in completed spelling activities on Wednesdays
5. Study for spelling tests nightly
How do I know if I know my spelling words? Well, can you use them in a sentence? Can you define the word to someone else? Do you know other words that have the same meanings (synonyms)? Do you know words that mean the opposite?
Trick or Treating at SJA!
Unit of Inquiry:
We learned that high sounds are made by something vibrating fast - there are many sound waves close together and moving quickly.
Low sounds are made by something vibrating slow - they are fewer sound waves further apart and moving slowly.
Today we explored sound with Ms. Frizzle class:

Low sounds are made by something vibrating slow - they are fewer sound waves further apart and moving slowly.
Today we continued working on our science fair projects. Each student developed their hypothesis, outlined their variables and began writing out the procedure to their experiment.
Please ensure that your child has the necessary materials to begin working on their experiment in class tomorrow.
