Spelling and Vocabulary

The spelling list is for both classes, AM and PM; however, the vocabulary portion is for the AM II/III and PM classes. These words were already discussed with a substitute teacher last week, but I will test them on their knowledge this Friday. It's alright if they can't get them all. This will be their first test.

AM I
1. bunch
2. repair
3. pond
4. fade
5. search
6. yell
7. scream
8. sketch
9. pretty
10. summer

AM II/III and PM
1. bunch: to group together
2. repair: to fix
3. pond: a small body of still water
4. fade: to become lighter; slowly disappear; lose color
5. search: to look for something or someone
6. yell: to shout
7. scream: loud piercing cry
8. sketch: to draw lightly and quickly
9. pretty: to have beauty
10. summer: the warmest season between spring and fall

FYI, the children in both classes came up with the definition. We are so very proud of them!

Throughout this week practice tests will be administered to prepare the children for the ITBS. These words will be included in the test as part of my own assessment.

Good luck!
