Weekly Buzz (Spelling) Words
Spelling is a very important skill for every student to master. The ability to spell (even in a world where we can spell check instantly) is vital in becomming a successful reader and writer.
With that said, every Monday your child will take a pretest using words following the spelling pattern for the week. If your child scores 80% or higher, they will be given the challenge words for the week to practice for the final test on Friday.
In the past, I have provided the spelling words on the Barton Buzz Weekly Newsletter. However, this year I got a great idea from the Teaching Maddeness website for your child to compile a ringed list of spelling words that will be added to each week. This will help each student review and prepare for benchmark assessments as well as have a great reference to use during their writing.
