Spelling
This week the students will be reviewing long vowel sounds we’ve already learned this year.  
Please print off this sort: 2-9-sheet1
The students will use this sort to practice the indicated patterns. Quest has asked us to have the students type their spelling word sort each night, but I would like to keep homework quick and simple. Just have your children sort the words. They do not need to type or write the sort.

Monday-Sort words by indicated patterns ( /ee/, /ea/, and /oddballs/-all other patterns)
Tuesday-ABC Sort (Sort the words by initial letters.)
Wednesday- Speed Sort (Sort the words as quickly as they can.)
Thursday-Glue sort (Glue the words down in the indicated vowel pattern.)
**Please make a note on the Sort and Reading Log that a sort was done each night.**
