September 2012
Dear Students and Parents,
For the past two weeks we’ve been practicing word work
activities from the Tic-Tac-Toe Spelling Board. These
activities will now become homework assignments. New
spelling words will be given each Monday. The spelling
homework for Monday will always be ABC order. For the
remainder of the week, please choose 3 other activities – one
of which must be sentences – to make tic-tac-toe from the
board. All assignments should be done in the Word Work
Notebook and handed in each day.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me. Happy word working!!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Crespo
