Unit 6 Core Words

Hello Families!
Your students have written these five core words into their planner this evening. These words are sight words that students in fifth grade should be able to spell without a struggle:

mountain*, caught*, bird, hair, wood

*starred words are ones that provide a challenge for many of our fifth graders. Practice, practice, practice!

Words to Work On...

Good Evening Families,

We have a new list of core words for our Sitton Spelling unit this week. Please know that students record words to work on for every unit. I encourage students to write these in their assignment notebook or take the list home (with the promise of it returning to our classroom) and practice, practice. Many of our units focus on homophones this year; help stomp out any confusion with diligent practice and use of these words.

This week's core word list:

travel, wrote, farm, circle, whose

grew, listen, ask, single, clear

Spelling Core Words

With our Sitton Spelling program, we start every unit with a list of core words. These are not the week's spelling words, but words that are high frequency words. Practicing them will help students gain spelling confidence and recall of commonly used words. Not only that but these words also align with the word patterns we are working on for the week.

This week's core words are:
music, buy, mark, window, heat
