Word Wall Words!

Hello!

We hope that you are noticing a green paper with 2 to 3 words on it coming home at the beginning of each week.  On the top of this paper is states, "Word Wall Words".  These are some of the Kindergarten Word Wall Words and these are the ones that we are focusing on during that week at school.  So I will send that paper home for you to practice with your child.  You can have them say the word and if they already know the word then you can move on to having your child spell the words.  Please remember even if your child knows these words they are still very important words to practice and have in our memories.  These words are constantly in the books we read and it really helps if your child just knows them by heart.  :)

After a couple of weeks I will start sending home challenge words with students who already know the first 25 words.  We have a list that has a total of 155 words on it they can work on.  If they would end up knowing all those we then will spend some time working on how to spell these words as that is crucial when they go into 1st grade.
