Personal Spelling Words

We read the book I'm the Best by Lucy Cousins:
This book helped us realize that each person has things they are good at and each person has things they need to work on.  

Each week we have class pattern words that we add to the Word Wall in our classroom.  Once a word is a Word Wall Word, the expectation is to spell it correctly by using our resources.

This week each student also received their Personal Word Wall to keep in our Writing Workshop folder.  This Personal Word Wall contains words that are specifically challenging for us.  Once we master a word and spell it correctly in our everyday writing, that word is then highlighted on our Personal Word Wall.

We brainstormed a list of ways that we could work on our personal words each week:

We got really creative and worked hard during Spelling Workshop.






Watch this video for more spelling highlights:

After each creation, we recorded it by taking a photo with our ipads.

During Sharing at the end of the workshop, we used AppleTV to share our creations.


What is your favorite way to work on spelling words?
