Spelling Options 
Week of 10/1-10/5
Unit 3: Long A and Long E
Please choose 4 of the 6 options listed (* is a required option). Spelling
homework should be turned each day, so I can check to make sure
you are spelling correctly. You may work ahead if you have other
commitments, but I will only check one option per night. Remember
to study Thursday for your test on Friday!
1. Word Chain-use graph paper to make a word chain with your
words. Tape the graph paper into your spelling book.
2. Dictionary Definitions (look up the definition in the dictionary of
5 of your hardest words). Put the rest of your words in ABC order.
3. Type your words-Use different colors and fonts to type your
words on the computer. Be sure to print out your homework and
tape them into your spelling book.
*4. Word Sort-sort your words into two columns: long a and long e
5. 10 sentences (a sentence should be at least 5 words long. Please
underline your spelling word in the sentence, and make sure your
sentence makes sense).
6. Go Vowel-less (Make two columns. Write the word correctly, then
write the word without vowels EX: hurricane=h-rr-c-n-. Use a dash
for every vowel in the word. Be sure to include the CORRECT
spelling of the word, AND the vowel-less spelling).
***Be sure to include a proper heading each night!!***
