Mrs. Hanley: Spelling

From this week forward all the girls will be completing their spelling homework at home.  They are familiar with the assignments and should complete the work independently.  The assigned spelling words are words they should spell correctly from now on.

Below are some suggestions for making homework a positive experience:

  •  Have a consistent, quiet place for completing homework.  This will help establish routine.
  • Use a pencil with an eraser.  This will make help your daughter to be successful.
  • Before she begins, ask your child what her assignment is for the particular night. This will enable her to focus on the assignment.
  • If she doesn’t not know how to spell a non-spelling word in one of her sentences encourage her to sound it out.  This allows her to practice what she is learning in word study and to become more self-sufficient in her writing.
  • Return materials to Homework Folder once work is completed. This will help with organization and routine (and a happy morning).
Happy Spelling!
