Read & Sign-Read the words and the definitions and have your parent or guardian sign off
Sentences-Write the word in a sentence
Definitions-Write the word and the definitions
Match-Match the words with the definitions (create your own page or use the SpellingCity website and print out.)

Magnet science

We have begun a new unit in Science....MAGNET EXPLORATION! First, we needed to learn about the different poles (north and south) of a magnet and the terms attract and repel. To help the students understand this, we played a game of  magnet tag wherein they had to find a matching pole (north-south) and stand back to back to be safe. They had a blast!
