Word Wall Words• It’s important that we learn to spell words that are giving us
trouble in our writing.• Here are words I noticed we need to work on this month:
• Now that these words are on our word wall, you must always spell them correctly, no matter where you are. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE WORD WALL TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR SPELLING!
• You write them in your literacy notebook while I add them to the word wall.
