Spelling
Focus for our weekly spelling lists will be words commonly misspelled in student writing. While technology provides support in areas like spelling, I have noticed that students often place very little to no emphasis on spelling in their writing under the assumption that "Spell check will save me." My rationale is not to hit students with extremely difficult word lists; instead, small, simple weekly spelling 'tests' will help reinforce spelling and proper grammatical use of words that students should definitely be spelling/using correctly by Grade 8.
