We added to our Word Wall again! 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. Once a homophone is on the Word Wall, I expect it to be spelled correctly in children's work.
son - a male child
sun - the star in the universe that provides us with daylight and warmth
