Download Nightly Word Study Homework

Every Monday, you will be given two copies of a new list of words for Word
Study. We will be working with these words in class throughout the week, but I also
expect you to practice the patterns at home each night. The chart below describes
your Word Study homework for each night of the week. These activities will help
prepare you for your Spelling test that you will take every Friday. Please keep these
instructions in your take home folder or at home so you will know what to do for your
assignment each night! Spelling homework is turned in on Friday morning, all activities
are stapled together. Have Fun!!! ~Mrs. Black
