We began new term with spelling, unit 20.  The words all contained variant sounds of g and or c.
city, cereal, face, could, guess, huge, age, danger, goose, gone, coast, clean, guard, giant carton.  Thanks to K for dictating the words for our pretest.

After the pre-test the students wrote about a moment in their spring break. Their goal was to come up with a title and a first sentence that do not give away what they did.  For example: instead of saying I went to Vancouver for spring break.  They might say: I am glad that I do not live in a large city.

This week we are on spelling unit 21: word, work, world, were, first, girl, turned, learn, bird, fire, here, nurse, jury, stirred, wear

We are looking forward to seeing you at Student Led Conferences on Wednesday and Thursday.
