Spelling City

We use a wonderful website in our first grade class and you can use the FREE version at home :)

Go to... Spellingcity.com and type in your spelling words. Your child can play fun and exciting games while learning their spelling words. You child knows how to type their words in and what games they are allowed to play.

In this picture one of my students is on our class mimio. She is practicing her spelling words on spellingcity.com

The Primary will be reading "The Trumpet of the Swan" the next few weeks!
Check out our school blog. Some of our friends answered questions about chapter 2.
