Spelling

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

FOCUS: Soft and Hard C

Rule:

If the letter C is followed by a consonant or the vowels a, o, or u the pronunciation is “hard” (like “K”).

If the letter C is followed by e, i, or y the pronunciation is “soft” (like “s”).
