Welcome to Spelling Adventure!

Introduction

🌟 Hello, little explorers! 🌟
Today, we are going on a Spelling Adventure! Are you ready to discover new words and learn all about spelling together? 🧗‍♂️✨

The Adventure Begins!

🎶 Magical Word Song

To start our journey, let’s sing a fun word song to warm up our brains! Here’s how it goes:

(To the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")

Spelling, spelling, let's have fun,  
Learning words for everyone.  
A, B, C, and then a D,  
Let’s spell together, you and me!  
Sound it out and write it down,  
Spelling, spelling, let’s go 'round!

Our Weekly Spelling Words

This week, we will focus on some exciting spelling words! Each of our words can be used in sentences. Here they are:

1. cat
2. hat
3. bat
4. mat
5. fat

Fun With Word Families

Let's explore the word family we can create from our spelling words. They all share a common ending, which makes them easier to remember!

• cat
• bat
• hat
• mat
• fat

🚀 Let's Create!

Now, let's spell these words together. As we spell them, try to notice the pattern in their endings. Can you say them out loud? (Pause for students to respond.) Great job, everyone!

Spelling Rules

🎤 Sound It Out

One special rule to remember when spelling is to sound out each letter. Let’s practice with our first word, cat.

• What sound does c make?
• What sound does a make?
• What sound does t make?

When we put it all together, we get: C - A - T = CAT!

✍️ Write and Shine

Now it’s your turn! Grab your crayons or pencils, and let’s write our words. Remember to say each sound as you write.

• Cat: _____
• Hat: _____
• Bat: _____
• Mat: _____
• Fat: _____

Let’s Get Interactive!

🖼️ Word Match Game

Next, we’ll play a fun Word Match Game! I have some pictures. If I show you a picture, shout out the word you think it is!

(Take out images of a cat, a hat, a bat, a mat, and a fat character.)

Great job, everyone! You’re all fantastic spellers!

Conclusion

Before we wrap up our adventure for today, let’s do a quick recap!

• Today we’ve learned five spelling words and figured out they belong to the same word family!
• We practiced sounding out and writing our words, and we even played a fun game! 🎉

⭐ Homework

For homework, I want you to find things around your house that match our spelling words. You can draw them or take a picture, and we’ll share them in our next class!

See You Next Time!

Thank you for joining the Spelling Adventure! Let’s continue to explore the wonderful world of words together! 🐾📚
