The students will spell the best to their abilities, including the correct capitalization and punctuation. Afterwards the teacher will write the sentence on the board. The students will correct any mistakes they made, including capitalization and punctuation with a different colored pen. “The thief stole a lot of money.” Day 3 S ort pictures & words into the correct vowel team sort (5 minutes): We are only focussing on nine spelling words that have the ei, ie and ey but there are many more words. Let's sort the pictures & words. Pictures help students to connect words with meaning. Unfortunately there is no rule to distinguish if words should be spelled with an ei, ie and ey. Exposure to the words in our reading and writing helps. Students will cut and paste pictures/words into the correct sort. wo Syllables (5 minutes):We have some of our fourtwo syllable spelling T words this week: protein, ceiling, money and donkey. Let's clap each syllable together as we say each word. The teacher will draw a slash between the syllable parts: pro/tein, ceil/ing, mon/ey and don/key. 1. Protein: Notice the word pro/tein has the vowel team ei that makes the long e on the second syllable /tēn/. The first syllable makes the long o sound because it is an open syllable, there isn’t a consonant on the other side of it to close it, therefore the rule is that it is a long vowel sound such as /prō/. 2. Ceiling: Notice the word ceil/ing the first syllable has the vowel team ei that makes the long e sound on the first syllable /sēl/. Did you know that ceiling probably comes from the latin word, “heaven, sky (celestial).” 3. Money: Notice in the word mon/ey the second syllable has the vowel team ey that makes the long e sound. If the first syllable followed the closed syllable rule, the o would make the short o sound. Unfortunately the word money breaks the rule because the o actually makes the short u sound, /mūn/. 4. Donkey: Notice in the word don/key the second syllable has the vowel team ey that makes the long e sound /kē/. The first syllable followed the closed syllable rule so the o makes the short o sound /dǒn/. pelling dictation (2 minutes):The teacher will saythe following sentence S out loud and the students will write it down.
