We (finally) added to our Word Wall again this week! 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. 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 each child's work.
*You can also find a copy on our classroom website.
We learned three new sets:
sail - Fabric that uses the wind to move a boat forward
sale - When something is sold, sometimes at a good price
***********************************
break - Something that separates into two or more pieces unexpectedly; to get rest
brake - The part of a vehicle that slows it down or stops it
***********************************
pail - A bucket used to hold other objects
pale - Something that has a light color
