Pre-tests are given every Monday (on Tuesday if there is no school on Monday). Post-tests are administered every Friday. Students that score a 90% or better on the pre-test do not have to take the post-test on Friday unless s/he chooses to do so. Spelling homework is assigned immediately after the pre-test and is due on Friday morning. Each week there will be 2 vocabulary words. These words must be used in a MEANINGFUL sentence on the post-test to earn extra credit. Students that receive spelling lists from Mrs. Graves adhere to the same procedure, using the words from Mrs. Graves.
Nov. 30 – Dec. 4
