Description

Class Experience

🗝 Trapped in an abandoned, haunted house, learners must solve puzzles and find all the keys in order to escape! Old Lady Smith was an eccentric former English Language Arts teacher who enjoyed testing her students with tricky spellings! She has planted keys all over the house but students must solve a puzzle to access each one. Escape before nightfall to avoid a confrontation with the ghost of Old Lady Smith! ☠

📝 Students will discover all the ways that the "special ending" /shus/ can be...

Students will become familiar with a long list of multi-syllable words with -ious endings. They will also learn the three different spellings of the "special ending" /shus/ in order to sort out which words get each of those spellings. Students will learn to work as a team effectively in order to solve the puzzles.

I am a state-certified Elementary Teacher who has become aware of and greatly concerned about the absence of structured spelling instruction in most schools today. In my private reading tutoring practice, I have watched my students become strong and independent spellers by using my approach based on the Phono-graphix method.

No homework is assigned, but an optional Scrambled Words and Word Search puzzle will be given at the end of class for a review of the word lists.

Learners will only need a pencil and paper for this class.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

All word lists, puzzles, and the escape room story are teacher-created. Word lists for this class are curated from my 3rd- 8th grade leveled spelling curriculum.
