We will begin class by reading and reviewing the specific pattern found in the list of words. Throughout the class, students will complete a variety of different worksheets and fun activities. For example, students may complete word searches, a sentence completion worksheet, word unscramble, or ABC order. All worksheets will be posted in the classroom the day before class. Students are free to print out the worksheets or just bring lined paper to class. The worksheets and activities will always be put up on the screen.
