January 13th - January 17th

Next weeks spelling list:

Dear Families,

We will be focusing on word families as part of our spelling program:

Word families are important because they help students recognize and analyze word patterns. Word families help students understand these patterns and that certain words have the same letter combinations and sounds.

This week's word family is /ay/

bay
day
hay
lay
may
clay
gray
stay
tray
sway
