The Words of Word Study

Featured Blogger: Ella
Last week we started doing different sorts with words. Here is what our sorts were like.  

The first routine we did was a blind sort.  A blind sort is where we have half a piece of paper with words on it and we talk with our table members, and we try to find out what categories they fall into.

The second routine we did went something like this: we came in from recess, and got off all our snow gear. Then we sat down in a circle on the rug and watched as Mrs. Gyster and Ms. Sprague showed us how to do a partner sort and a beat the clock sort.

On day three of our different Word Study sorts, we did an individual sort.  Then we got it checked by either Mrs. Gyster or Ms. Sprague. Next we cut them out, and then we glued them into our Word Study Spelling Notebook.

So far this week we got assigned groups based on our spelling levels.  Then we got new words for our groups and did the same sorts throughout the week like we did last week.  I like the new routine of having Word Study in the afternoons everyday!
