We are into Week 3 of Spelling and the fourth graders are doing a great job learning their words each week. We do several different activities each week to practice our words. One favorite activity is using the window marker to write the words on our classroom window.
I have been encouraging the fourth graders to write some of the spelling words in cursive handwriting. They spent so much time in third grade learning how to write in cursive. This is the perfect way for them to get more practice and to refresh their memories on how to write in cursive. :)
Another way to practice the spelling words is to use the website Spelling City. Each week I put our spelling list on the website for the students to access. They play games to practice the words. Usually on Thursdays we use the school iPads to use the Spelling City app. You can also use this from home via an iPad (or similar device) or on a computer. The link to my Spelling City page is: https://www.spellingcity.com/LaurelBeth/
As of right now there are 20 words on each weekly spelling list. Very soon I will be adding 5 "Challenge Words" every week for the fourth graders to earn extra credit points!
