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 two new sets:
it's - A contraction of it is
its - Used when an object goes with something else
***********************************
there - Refers to a certain location
their - Something belonging to a group of people
they're - A contraction of "they are"
