Super- Duper Spelling
By Jordan and Zack
In our Super-Duper spelling class we do so many exciting things and have so much fun!
Before we even get our spelling words, we take a spelling pre-test! Our teacher Ms. Kreul gives us 15 spelling words to spell. If we get one or more words wrong then we put the wrong words on our Super-Duper spelling list, and pick other spelling words to study. If we get one or more words wrong then we put the wrong words on our spelling list, and pick other spelling words! Usually none of us have the same list as each other. Every week our variety of spelling words are more challenging but our vocabulary becomes richer.
Every week we have fun, educational spelling worksheet. One of the worksheets is a sheet called Spelling Sentences. What we do is we pick five spelling words or more, and use them in different sentences. We have to underline our spelling words to show we used them. We also do a sheet we call a “ Word Map”. What you do is pick a spelling word and write the definition, a synonym or antonym, put it in a sentence, and draw a picture to match it. Aren’t those some great spelling worksheets?
You probably think that spelling isn’t that fun, but it is! Because we play some extraordinary games, in spelling class! One game is classic, A.K.A Tic-Tac-Toe, with spelling words. Our partner gives us one of our words, and if we spell it right we put an X or an O on the board. Then we give our partner a word and they put a mark if they get it right. The first one to get three of the same marks in a row wins! We also play a fantastic game called Hangman. Our partner secretly gives us a word and tells us how many letters there are in that word. Then we keep guessing letters until we figure out the word. We love our games!
Every Friday we have our spelling test. Our partner gives us our test. Also, our partner has to say the word and then use it in a sentence, so we can know what the definition is. After we’re done our partner signs the test and then puts it in the basket.
We adore our spelling class! Everyday, we count down the minutes until it’s time to spell! We always know there will be something marvelous in store!
