Hello! I thought I would post the January Speller's Choice Menu just in case anyone needs it! The lists for the week of Jan. 23-27 are below as well.
Choose one activity each night during the month of January in order to prepare for your spelling test on Friday. Please write the name of the activity at the top of the page and then complete the activity.
** Please choose a different activity for each night!** **
1. Air Words: Use your finger to write each word in the air. Have an adult do the same. See if you can figure out their word! Please be sure to have someone sign the Speller’s Choice page to say you did it!
2. .. . Where are the vowels? Write your words but draw a line instead of putting the vowels.
(a, e, i, o, u) Ex: b l – –– – c k c k c k c k
3. Sweet & Salty Words: Be sure an adult knows you are going to do this activity! Put some sugar or salt on a plate. Use your finger to write your words in the sugar or salt.
4. Spelling City: : Go to the website http://www.spellingcity.com and Type in your list and choose pretest, game or post test. Write “Spelling City” on the Speller’s Choice page and have an adult sign it to say you did your words on Spelling City!
5. Computer Fun: Use your computer to type your words. Use different fonts and make it look really fun! Be sure you print it out and bring it to school. Or you can type your words in an email and email it to me.
6. Other Handed : If you are right handed, rite your words with your left hand. If you are left handed, write with your right!

If you are unable to attend, simply read the first 3 chapters at home with your child so they'll be ready to discuss it with their friends at school the next day. Your brand new copy of the book is coming home in......4 more sleeps! ;)
