Spelling Words

Bubba has a new teacher this semester. (For the record we really liked his original teacher, but after she made the decision to leave I attended a parent meeting where there were more than a few unhappy parents.)  We can already see a BIG difference with this teacher as she has come out of the gate swinging with spelling tests, math assessments, science lessons, and LOTS of homework. On Monday they took a spelling test and some of the students were given an advanced list of words to study throughout the week. Part of the study process requires them to complete 3 activities that they choose from a list; Bubba chose to type his words on Tuesday, yesterday he wrote them in alphabetical order, and today he looked for anagrams and smaller words.

And during dinner tonight I quizzed him on his spelling words. I think this is one of those parenting activities that I have been looking forward to the most. Helping him with his homework and studying for spelling tests makes changing all those diapers and cleaning up all that spit-up kind of worth it. Here are his spelling words for this week:

Adequate

Reluctantly

Perhaps

Comedy

Husband

Tangerine

Thermostat

Crimson

Oath

Ruckus

Orderly

Quill

Vandalism

Linoleum

Preliminary

Cameo
