Today the children copied their new list of spelling words. For HOMEWORK, they are to put the first five words in alphabetical order. For in-class work, we've put some of the spelling words in alphabetical order. For the AM class, they worked on first-second-letters alphabetizing; PM worked on first-second-third-letters alphabetizing.

Tomorrow, I will be looking at their homework to see how they did, and we will do a few more exercises. Each group will be given exercises that will help them toward dictionary-skills; and each group will have different sets of work according to their level of skills in alphabetizing.
