All spelling tests will usually be on FRIDAY. The test format will VARY
from week to week. The children will receive a new spelling list once a
week on MONDAY. The individual spelling assignments will be done IN
SCHOOL. The spelling homework will be to STUDY for the tests, an occasional
worksheet or classwork if it is incomplete.
The spelling lists are based upon phonetic and grammatical rules. The
children are expected to be able to spell all of these words correctly by the
