We added to our Word Wall again today! Our Word Wall consists of homophones that are commonly misspelled. A homophone is a word that sounds like another word, but has a different meaning and is spelled differently.
I updated a paper copy and will send it home in folders tomorrow. Keep it where your child does homework for easy reference. Once a homophone is on the Word Wall, I expect it to be spelled correctly in children's work.
*You can also find a copy on our classroom website.
We learned three new sets today:
guest - a person invited to go somewhere
guessed - when someone predicted without all the information
***********************************
banned - being stopped from doing something
band - several people playing musical instruments together;
length of material used to hold things together
************************************
missed - to unsuccessfully attempt something
mist - lots of tiny drops of water in the air, making it hard to see
