How is the agenda book used?

Students write their homework in the agenda book daily. Students 
will receive 
a list of spelling words that should be written in their agenda 
book. The 
teacher and the parent also use it as a means of communication.  
The parent 
should sign the agenda book daily.  Agenda books are needed in 
class on a 
daily basis.

Spelling tests were on Fridays, now they are on different days, why?

Tests will be given every six school days.  When there are days 
that schools 
are closed or county testing,this changes the day that spelling 
tests are 
given.  Check your child's agenda book for the list of spelling 
words and 
the test date.

the

How are spelling lists assigned?

There are two separate spelling tests given on every sixth day of 
school. 
After the spelling test is given, students are given a pretest of 
new 
spelling words. The pretest is used to determine if a child will 
receive list 
A or list B.

What are Spelling lists A and Spelling lists B?

Students who have difficulty with the words on the pretest will 
receive list 
A. If the pretest words are not challenging, those students will 
receive list 
B. Both lists follow the same spelling rule, but list B has more 
challenging 
words. Spelling lists can be downloaded from the website.
