Spelling Choices

Spelling is an important part of our Language Arts. The spelling lists are 
sent home on Mondays and our tests are on Thursdays. Students will now be 
able to select their own spelling homework, with parental guidance, from the 
spelling choices list. This list may be modified throughout the year. It may 
be beneficial to take a "pre-test" on Monday night to help determine with 
which words your child may need the most practice. The student will pick one 
assignment for Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday night. Thursday 
night should be used to review the spelling words in preparation for the test 
on Friday. During class time, we will be practicing the words through 
different games and activities. Thank you for all of your support and 
cooperation.
