Last weekend and this week, I spent a lot of time working on
the Spelling component of our Journeys curriculum. Each week, there are twenty words associated
with a specific rule that the kids are supposed to work with and learn. However, there are no actual lists to copy and
give to the kids and there is only one real activity to do with the words. Earlier this week, I posted about the Spelling
Choice Boards that I made to give the kids different choices about the
activities they could do to practice the words. You can read about that here.
Then, I spent some time working on lists to copy and send home with the kids. This seems like such a simple task, but in order to get the lists finished with the spelling rules written at the top, I had to go through all six (yes, that’s right, six) Teacher’s Guides to find the list and rule so I could type them. I decided that there might be some of you out there who could benefit from my work, so I put the lists on Teachers Pay Teachers here.
If you are using Journeys, what do you do for the spelling
component? And (perhaps more
importantly) are you completely overwhelmed by all of the components involved
with this curriculum?!
