This week, our classroom is launching our third daily 5 choice, Word Work. Working with words helps children become better spellers and writers. Your child will learn about letters and how they work together. Students will be exploring word families, digraphs, and blends, practice high frequency ‘heart’ words using play dough, stamps, tiles, wikki sticks, letter trays, beans, gel boards, whiteboards, and a variety of games. Working on words was very engaging and fun today as children rolled dice to determine which heart word to write. The repetitive practice of writing each word will help the children master the spelling of the many tricky words we have in the english language! INQUIRE with your child what their favorite tool for word work is so far (more to come each day this week)!
