Homophones

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 that was sent home today. 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 two new sets today:

plain - ordinary, having no decoration

plane - a machine that flies in the air

***********************************
meet - to get together with other people

meat - part of an animal that you eat
