SMART Board Spelling Activities

In the beginning of the school year third grade students really focus on spelling patterns that will help them to become better spellers. We focus on sounds and the spelling patterns that make them. We have learned about the spelling patterns for long I, long E, and long O.

We try hard to complete quick spelling activities as a whole group each day on the SMART Board; and in the photograph above Sierra is adding a word to our list of long O words with the spelling pattern "ow". During activities like these students practice spelling skills but are also working with technology, collaborating, and taking turns. Added bonus: the more often we do these activities, the more fluent our spelling is getting!
