We are continuing to look at some spelling patterns with that bossy R as Coach Johnson likes to call them.  The patterns are

• ur  (CVC) like in turn
• ur~ e (VCCe) like in curve
• ure (VCe) like in sure

  For homework last night you were asked to go on a word hunt reading books and magazines in search of these patterns. What words did you find?  Please share with your teammates, but before you post read what your teammates have posted too so that we only have new words add to the list.  Here’s a hint, you might see these words again on Friday morning along with your other spelling words. If you need another copy of your list, just click hereOrange Group October 13th
