������ SPELLING EXPECTATIONS AND WEEKLY CONTRACT��������� 
Fourth grade expectations!� We wanted you to be aware of the 
spelling work your child will be handing in�� 
We will be giving a grade for all spelling.� We will expect, 
obviously, that the words are spelled correctly and done neatly.� We 
will also be taking 10 points off when it is late.� Please also be 
aware of how your child is completing the group C part of the 
spelling contract.� It is very important that they create a sentence 
that makes sense, showing that they know the meaning of the word. 
�Ex.� a)That was organized. (not showing that they understand the�� 
�������������������������� meaning of the word)
����� b)I could tell they used an organized plan because the story� 
������ was really understandable.(shows an understanding of the word)
�
~Your child is also allowed to change the ending of a word when 
making a sentence. 
Ex. The word is imagination� if their sentence they thought of 
makes 
more sense when they use the word imaginative � that is fine.�
Please ask to see the homework to insure quality.�
