Review, Retest, Rejoice

Most of the class didn't accomplish the mastery of these words last week.  We are not going to move on to another list this week.  All of the students will have a retest on Friday, April 11th.  

Homophones are words we hear as if they were the same.  The spelling we see is the way our brain assigns it meaning. I find ideas with the word that allow the students to make a connection. 
Spelling Words

Meet has "ee" like the word see and we meet or see our friends at school.
Meat has "eat" inside it and it is the "meat we eat".

week has seven days.  We are weak but Jesus is strong.

The mane belongs to "an" animal.  The main idea is found "in" our writing.

tail does not fail a monkey when it is swinging.  A tale is a story.

I would not like to be a bee

Too is an amount or a way of saying also.       I like ice cream and the students do too!
       It is still too cold for Spring time flowers.  They are going to eat too many cookies.
It is fun to play with two friends. 

He was in trouble when he threw the football through the window.

I can see the sea.

Vocabulary Words

You change the y to an i and add the ending when you spell the words below.
heavily, happier, funniest

Lonely has the word one inside it and that makes it sad and "lonely".

Knot and answered have silent letters in them.

The last three vocabulary words are copyplanning, and seriously!
