Choose 5 of your -est words and write a sentence using each word correctly. A good 3 rd
grade sentence has 5-8 words and begins with a capital letter and ends with punctuation.
Story time! Use all your spelling words to create a story. Write your spelling word in
BOLD print!
Have a parent or older sibling give you a practice test and have them sign it. You will be
expected to know the meaning of the word.
Write each word in alphabetical order and draw a quick picture next to each word to
show its meaning.
Type your list 4 times on a computer, with each list typed in a different/fun font. Print
it out and turn it in!
Word Pyramids for all your spelling words. Start with the first letter of the word on the
top line. Add the next letter and put the first two letters on the second line. Keep going
from there.
Write your words with something unique (ex. Shaving cream, spaghetti, salt, etc.) and
take a picture. Please email to your teacher! DO NOT bring it to school.
Make a T Chart and write your spelling words down one column. On the other column,
write the root word (without est) for the spelling word on the left. BE CAREFUL! When
you get rid of est for some words, the root words spelling changes ;)
