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.
