Spelling Choices
Spelling is an important part of our Language Arts. The spelling lists are sent home on Mondays and our tests are generally on Fridays. 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, another for Tuesday night, and one for Wednesday night. Thursday night should be a practice spelling test at home. During class time, we will be practicing the words through different games and activities. Thank you for all of your support and cooperation.
Weekly Spelling Choices
Select one choice for Monday night, another choice for Tuesday night, and a different choice for Wednesday night.
