How To Do A Spelling Sort

Watch this video to see Mrs. Jensen's class showing how to do a spelling sort.  Please have your student cut out the words in their homework packet and have them get them out and sort them every night.  Ideas for sorts are attached to the packet.  We have them store the words in a zip lock baggie.  That may work well at home, too!

Happy sorting!

Spelling

Hello! We trust you have had as great of a beginning of the school year as we have!  We have loved getting to know your students.

Students are bringing home the first spelling list of the year tonight.  Each night for homework, they must sort the words using the prompts in the homework packet.

However, if they would like an alternative, they may go online here and play a spelling game!  If you want to copy and paste the link in a separate window, here is the address:

www.spellingcity.com/thirdgradeperrine

When you get to that page, click on "week 1 spelling" and you can test them, play games, etc.  It's a fun way to learn spelling!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let us know!
We love teaching your children,
