No Spelling Test This Week

Since we only have three days this week, we will not have a spelling test. If you feel the need to work on spelling at home, reviewing the plural spelling rules we have learned so far would be a great use of time. Have a great week!

This Week's Spelling Words

All of our words are plurals that would end in f or fe in singular form. There were a few typos on the list sent home. I had the kids correct them in class, but wanted to make sure I posted the corrections here too. The test will on Friday morning. These spelling rules are tricky, so please practice with your student at home this week.

wives
knives
loaves
lives
wolves
calves

Lost and Found

I have a bucket of coats in room 14.  It's getting cold out there, please stop by and see if you kiddo's coat is in the bucket by the door!

Next Week's Spelling Rule

Next week we will be practicing making nouns that end in "F" or "FE" plural. The rule is that if a noun ends in "F" or "FE" you drop those letters and add "VES" to make the noun plural.

This Week's Spelling Rule

When we have a noun that ends in "Y" there are spelling rules to follow to make that noun plural. This week we have been practicing theses rules.
