Language Arts:
New Spelling Sorts were assigned today! Be practicing every night - say them aloud, say them in front of a mirror and watch the way your lips move, write them down, write them in sand, dirt, shaving cream...., draw and label pictures of them, have someone do a Blind Sort with you, have someone time you and try to beat your time. Have fun with them and pay close attention to the vowel sounds and spelling patterns and other words with the same pattern.
