Word Wall Words:  

And that is it!! All of our First Grade Word Wall Words are up on the board! You can assess them right here on the left of this post. Printing the list, making flashcards, playing word games and writing the words in sentences are great ways your child can practice spelling these words.

I will send home more homework pages from this module for your child to complete at home for extra support. Please review their finished work and there is NO NEED to send it back to class.
