SPELLING/VOCABULARY WORDS
Spelling/Vocabulary tests will be given each Friday morning. Students are
encouraged to study these spelling words at home prior to the test. Students
will be expected to know how to accurately spell the words and must use each
word correctly in a sentence (showing proof that the definition is
understood)and using the correct part of speech. Corrected tests will be
sent home each Monday. Students will correct tests by writing misspelled
words three times each and/or rewriting correct sentences or definitions.
These corrections are due Tuesday mornings.
Spelling/Vocabulary words will be posted here on a weekly basis (Note: These
groups are not listed in order of spelling level. It is the responsibility of
the student to remember what spelling group they have been placed):
