Hello Commanders!
This video is to inform you of some important information regarding
your beginning of the year packets that need to be read by yourselves and your parents.
Then your parents need to fill them out and sign the appropriate forms.
Thank you for checking out our blog!
See you in class on tomorrow!!
Keep in mind, regarding vocabulary, that most of these words have already been given. Remember, repitition is key, especially when dealing with vocabulary words. Every word will not on the test, but several will be used as opportunities as bonus!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, students are only supposed to learn/define seven NEW words per night.
ReplyDeleteParents, I've had to adjust the vocabulary for this week. While trying to create the test I had an issue. Therefore, students will have this week and the weekend to study for their vocabulary. I will update the list soon!! Thank you for your patience and understanding regarding this important matter. :~)
ReplyDeleteThank you for getting the blog up and running. Looks great. I am concerned however, regarding the vocabulary words. I thought you were going to supply a standard definition so there would be consistency among the children's definitions and any tests expectations. Or will you be reviewing their definitions in class so corrections can be made, to get everyone more in line with what the tests will be looking for?
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting and for checking out our blog! :~) Last week the students were asked to chose 15 words to define and any words extra would be considered BONUS for their spelling test. I have since updated the vocabulary section to make it easier for the students. Their spelling/vocabulary test will be Thursday since we don't have school on this Friday.
DeleteWhat week spelling words should be studied for this weeks test on Friday 9/20?
ReplyDeleteMy apologies for the delayed response. 9/24-27/2013 is week 5.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone. Just wanted to let you know that I have and will continue to write the spelling words on the board where they will be seen daily.
ReplyDeletewhen is the book project due for November?
