Homework: Guess My Word
Pick two spelling words from the list. Write several words that give clues to the spelling word you have chosen. For example, if you chose the word dock, you might write boat, water, rope, harbor. Next to the words draw a picture that will give another clue to your spelling word. For example, for dock, you might draw a boat tied to a dock. When you are done, you will show it to the class to see if they can guess your words.
Remember that we have library on Wednesday, and Music on Thursday.
