S Spelling List #20 - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Chapter 1-3 Our class was blessed to have Council Member Ingrid Turner visit our classroom on Thursday and give each child their very own book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Every year Council Member Turner visits our school and read with the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students as a part of her Read 4 Success program. We are very lucky to have her come to our school and donate the books! We will begin reading the chapter book as a part of our Reading Workshop. For the next coming weeks,out spelling words will come directly from the book. The words will get progressively harder, but your children will learn some wonderful adjectives, adverbs, and nouns that will enhance their writing as well! We look forward to reading this story! 1 1. chocolate 11. jealous 2. brilliant 12. nibble 3. desperately 13. enormous 4. satisfying 14. impossible 5. glistening 15. gorgeous 6. repulsive 16. shriveled 7. slab 17. huddled 8. munching 18. wrinkled 9. greedily 19. delicious 10. muttered 20. amazing BONUS/CHALLENGEWORDS 21. extraordinary 22. tremendous 23. astonishing 24. absurd 25. marvelous ------------------------------------------------------------- Monday, February 27-March 2, 2012 Spelling List #21 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Chapters 4-7 1. fastened 11. currant 2. deserted 12. peering 3. whirring 13. interested 4. columns 14. machine 5. furnace 15. revolting 6. faint 16. frantically 7. underneath 17. eagerly 8. exciting 18. glint 9. bulged 19. whom 10. spoiled 20. invented Bonus/Challenge Words 21. disturbing 22. murmured 23. monstrous 24. amidst 25. nourishment --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spelling List #22 - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Chapters 8-10 1. nervously 13. beckoned 2. anxious 14. quickly 3. lovingly 15. doubtful 4. fling (verb) 16. rummaging 5. particular 17. tomorrow 6. announced 18. steaming 7. jostling 19. burst 8. expensive 20. motionless 9. disappointment Bonus/Challenge Words 10. angrily 21. ferociously 11. especially 22. scrumptious 12. loudly 23. criticize 24. ridiculous 25. spluttered -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 23 - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 1. delighted 11. enchanted 2. rescued 12. escorted 3. marvels 13. mystical 4. narrow 14. intrigued 5. verdict 15. dreadful 6. trembling 16. mischief 7. fantastic 17. creaking 8. victory 18. shielded 9. patient 19. striking 10. enraptured 20. glimpse BONUS/CHALLENGEWORDS 21. pandemonium 22. expedition 23. collapsing 24. photographer 25. explosion -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday, March 19, 2012 Spelling List #24 - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Chapters 15-16 1. wretched 11. invent 2. mauve 12. inconceivable 3. beautiful 13. import 4. abide 14. infested 5. froth 15. impossible 6. dangle 16. slightest 7. ceiling 17. gorge 8. graceful 18. insist 9. riverbanks 19. interrupt 10. unthinkable 20. colossal
BONUS/CHALLENGE WORDS 21. delectable 22. rhododendron 23. flabbergasted 24. bewildered 25. dumfounded Please Note: If you choose to do a spelling activity for homework this weekend, please make sure to either do ABC order or 3 Times each. Please do not write your sentences until we have read the chapters and have worked a little more in class on becoming familiar with the meaning of the words. It is important during word study that you create sentences according to the meaning we discuss. It is also important to create sentences that are complete and make sense. The whole idea behind writing sentences for homework is to show that you understand the meaning of the word and can use it in a proper sentence. Without proper class time on the words, the sentences will be difficult to write. Don't forget, many words may have multiple meanings, but we write sentences based on the meaning that is used in the book. Thanks! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday, April 16, 2012 SpellingList 25 Chapter18 ,19, 20 of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I explained to the students on Friday that they may take their spelling journals home with them and leave them at home (and was met with big cheers, haha!). Instead of the spelling journals, students will be given a blank writing paper on Monday and will need to use the week to write a short story or poem using AT LEAST 10 of the spelling words in the list. The story or poem will be due on Friday. The main focus is for the children to be able to use what they have learned in class during "Word Study" and write a story that makes sense and has a good flow. I will be looking for proper capitalization and punctuation as well! Students will be given the opportunity to share their story or poem with the class on Fridays, but this is not a requirement. Students will still have a test each Friday on the spelling of each word, therefore www.spellingcity.com is still available for practice each night. Since this is the first week of this homework, I will be giving the students examples of stories using past spelling lists. During class, the students will continue to engage in "Word Study" activities that define the words, identify the parts of speech, learn the many ways they can be used in a sentence, and of course how to spell them. My focus will be on the students honing in on the meaning and use of each word. This is critical in your child's continued development of vocabulary in writing and reading. Happy Writing!
