Spelling Poem #8: 5 Little Jack-O-Lanterns

It is almost time for Halloween!  Most boys and girls are excited about this celebration because it involves a lot of dressing up and candy.  This week I have a song called ''5 Little Jack-O-Lanterns''.  We are learning about numbers in Math and I picked this particular song because it has ordinal numbers, such as first, second, third.  We should not only know our numbers, but also our ordinal numbers as well because it is important for sequencing (as well as the date....we say ''thirty-first, not thirty-one'').  This week, the Spelling Words are in the 'it' and 'at' word families!  Please try the ''Additional Questions'' below and this week, if you hand it in to me, you get a BONUS prize!  :)
