Welcome to Room Twelve's class website.  'Jump Rope for Heart' will be our topic for the rest of the term.  The students are expecting a great skipathon with excitement later in the term.   

HOMEWORK:

Most misspelt in English (Tricky): definite, discipline, embarrass, equipment, exceed, existence, experience, fiery, foreign, gauge. 

You can practise by:
*Sounding out the word, spelling it, covering it and spelling it again, then checking it before you write it. 
*Writing the word out in a sentence or with fancy lettering each night.
*Having a parent/caregiver read out the word to you and then spell it out loud while they tick the correct words.
