The spelling lesson this week working with words that have a final long e sound. The workbook pages that they will need to work on throughout the week are pages 29-31. I have established a new routine, and I will check to be sure that the assignments have been completed each morning. So on Tuesday morning they should turn in their words written two times each. On Wednesday morning they should show me that they have finished the workbook page for that day. On Thursday morning they will show me they have completed the work for that day. The same will go for Friday, and I will collect one of the pages they have done throughout the week to grade.
