Kindergarten Letter Sort

Today we began our spelling sorts (sort letters N and O).  I only had time to video tape the Kindergarten sort but this gives you parents an idea about how we sort in school.  They cut up the letters and sort them by the letter they begin with.  

Besides Sorting You Can:
- write the words out on the cards (we use the term "imaginary writing" and that means they try to spell the words and they might not know the letters).  They at least should be able to write what the picture starts with.
- Speed sort.  When the child will sort the pictures as fast as they can when they are put into a pile.
- Look around the home and see things that start with the letters N and O.
- Create your own picture tiles with things that begin with N and O.

I will try and capture the other Grades sorting tomorrow.  
** Please keep your spelling words at home to practice all this week.  A spelling test will be done on Thursday.

Any questions about the spelling please contact me.  Happy Spelling!
