Mismatching, Misplacing Mattie (mid-, mis-)



Please help Mismatching, Misplacing Mattie out! She can't seem to get her stuff together. She misprinted some of her words and misplaced her spelling words. Her earrings, hair, sock, and shoes mismatch because she picked it out at midnight!

Study your spelling words (not at midnight) so you can help her out this Friday.

Molly Mixture's Adventures



Watch out for Chef Molly Mixture. She is always on an adventure looking for words that have -tion and -ture in them.

She will be working with the chefs in training (aka the students) who will then take their cooking test (aka spelling test) on Friday to see if they will become head chefs. So study, study, study little chefs in training!!!

Homographs are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings.

For example:

bat - piece of sports equipment OR an animal
wave – move the hand in greeting OR sea water coming into shore
bass – type of fish OR low, deep voice
