Spelling Paragraphs: We are trying out a new assignment with our spelling words.  The students are to take one of the challenge words and use it in a topic sentence.  Then, they must use other spelling words (not challenge words) to complete the rest of the paragraph.  For example, if I take the challenge word "finally" and use it to start my paragraph the finished result will be:

1. We finally were able to go on a field 
trip with our class.  I knew our teacher 
would let us but we only have a few days until it 
happens. I can't wait until we get off the bus 
and begin our field trip.
