Building Spelling Skills Grade 4 Week 6
Boyan Atanaschev
Both the spelling words and activities are grade-level appropriate. The weekly lessons usually group words by common phonetic elements, but sometimes they are grouped by a theme. Occasionally, other frequently used words, such as chocolate and glacier, are included.
Other exercises focus on word meaning, identifying phonetic elements, and editing. Be aware that some exercises ask students to identify incorrectly spelled words, a task that might be confusing or difficult for students who have trouble with visual discrimination.

I am wanting to start Christian Liberty Press Building Spelling Skills with my boys. I am having a hard time finding what word list is in each book so I know where to start. We were doing sequential spelling and it appeared their spelling was getting worse not better. Do you know where I can find a list of the spelling words in each book? If you have used it can you tell me about it? Did you like it why why not? My boys are awful spellers they are both in 3rd grade. Any help would be appreciated.
Where are they in reading level, fluency and comprehension, and what did they do for phonics? Are they still doing any phonics? (One can be a good reader and not be able to spell well, but sometimes phonics needs to be done a little longer, especially since it complements beginning spelling skills. One is decoding and the other is encoding, so they reinforce one another.)
Just off the cuff, I'd suggest having them do both Adventures in Phonics C (from the same company) and Building Spelling Skills 2 simultaneously, but I'd need to know a bit more in order to make a better suggestion.
They both read fairly well. They can read words but then not be able to spell them. My 7 yr old just finished reading Call of the wild and my oldest the lion witch and the wardrobe. IceFairy I would really love to know what the words towards the end are. I am worried that I will start in the next book but they will have missed key words in the first one. Do you like this series? Donna is this curriculum you have used? I am curious to how it has worked for others. Thank you ladies.

The academic program at the Junior School encompasses a world of knowledge in various subjects, including language arts, math, social studies, Spanish, science and music. Through engaging coursework and activities, and with the help of caring teachers, the program instills in children a love of learning.
The goal of the art department is to help students develop skills and discipline in the arts. We provide exhibit and display opportunities for the appreciation of the visual arts and encourage students to seek new areas of investigation with a variety of mediums. We strive to promote an appreciation for self-expression and an understanding of the arts and the art-making process as an integral part of the human experience.
Art in PK is a joyful exploration of media and a consolidated expression of learning in many areas. Children have daily access to art materials. Additionally, students have an art workshop period and an art lesson with the art teacher each week. We offer rich experiences in drawing, painting, printing, sculpting, ceramics and textiles.
Young students are introduced to a variety of materials and media to explore during their early years in the art studio, where they build their vocabulary and skills regarding the arts. Students are also introduced to famous artists and the importance and influence of their work. The course enables young children to develop their self-expression, confidence and appreciation of the visual arts.
Students explore the elements of art including form, line, shape, color, texture, space and value. They develop and understand the principles of emphasis, balance, variety, movement, proportion and unity. A wide variety of techniques are explored: drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, multimedia and sculpture. Students become familiar with different artists and different cultural artistic traditions, while cross-curricular lessons bring together science, Spanish, social studies and language arts. Students display their work in the school, and their art is used at school assemblies.
Balanced Literacy is a comprehensive program of language arts acquisition. It contains all of the components necessary for students to master written and oral communication. Areas of focus include communication, grammar, handwriting, spelling, writing and reading. Purposeful, frequent assessments ensure teachers are constantly aware of students' individual needs and progress.
Balanced Literacy begins with creating a genuine appreciation for good literature. It includes teaching phonics, grammar skills, reading and comprehension strategies, and writing forms and skills. Direct and indirect reading instruction, shared reading and independent reading experiences are provided. As students progress through the grades, literal comprehension skills are solidified, and the focus expands to making inferences, drawing conclusions, analyzing, evaluating and summarizing. Students read literature from many cultures and gain insight into their own experiences as well as the lives of others.
The literacy goals in PK focus on fostering the love of language and the development of excellent communication skills. Books are an integral part of the classroom. Each day, teachers read aloud from a wide variety of quality literature relating to curricular topics. Children are given frequent opportunities for writing and drawing as expressions of concepts or experiences. Proper pencil grip, hand strengthening and handwriting at a very basic level are also emphasized.
The language arts program in kindergarten strives to meet individual needs through whole group, small group and individual instruction. We use the Heggerty program and the Fundations Phonics program, which emphasizes phonemic awareness, phonics, high-frequency words, fluency, handwriting and spelling. Through a Writing Workshop approach, children learn the basics of the writing process. Students are introduced to a variety of genres to enhance the writing experience. They use both pictures and words to express their thoughts and ideas in written form. Throughout the year, they work on building their stamina, volume and independence when writing. Students also edit, revise, publish and celebrate their writing with their peers.
