Spelling Words: The weeks spelling words are:  how, have, big, going, go, if (To help children with their spelling, have them look for "chunks" that they already know.  ie. if they know how to spell "down" this can help them spell the word "how".  Writing:  Students are still working on the trait "Word Choice".  We will be revisiting our "Ideas" trait this week.  Students will learn how to show their work rather than just telling about it.  ie.  Telling:  I like my bike.      Showing:  I like my bike because I got it for Easter.  It is blue and green with racing stripes.  Have a great week!
