Special Friend's Day

We had such a wonderful time with all of the Special Friends that came and spent the day with our 1B students! We started our morning in Science and then showed our Special Friends what a morning typically looks like in 1B, with morning work and a morning meeting. We even showed off our phonics skills when we performed the phonics dance! The rest of the morning was spent playing math games and working on a butterfly activity. Thank you to all of the Special Friends who came and made the day so memorable!

Ideas for Spelling Practice

*Write your words in ABC order.

*Spell your words with Scrabble tiles - write each word and record the value of that word.

*Choose 8 spelling words. Write a sentence for each word. (You should include a variety of sentences - statements, questions, and exclamations.)

*Copy your spelling list neatly three times - you may use skinny markers, coloring pencils, or gel pens if you wish!

*Group your spelling words into categories you create. Regroup them into new categories. Write the words and give each category a title.

*Create riddles with the words as answers. Write your riddles and answers.

*Create a crossword on graph paper. Include clues and an answer key.

*Make a Spelling Puzzle ~ Print a spelling word and cut it apart letter by letter to make a puzzle word. Scramble the letters and then arrange them in order to spell the word. Do this with each word!

*Create a Mini-Book ~ Print each word on and index card or small piece of paper. Arrange words in alphabetical order and staple into a booklet. Use the mini-book to study the words.

*Make Rainbow Words ~ Use a crayon or marker to print a spelling word. As you print the word, spell the word aloud. Then use a different color crayon or marker to add a band of color to each letter, spelling the word aloud again. You can add several bands of color to make the word into a rainbow word!

*Create an original spelling game. Be ready to explain the directions to the class!

*Using a thesaurus, find synonyms and antonyms for the words. (Synonyms are the same, and antonyms are the opposite.)

*Write the words, then change some letters to create new words. Change the initial or middle consonants to create other words, or keep the consonants the same and change the vowels to make other words.
