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 pretest do not have to take the post test on Friday unless s/her chooses to do so. Spelling homework is assignment immediately after the pretest and is due Friday by the post test. The vocabulary words need to be used in a MEANINGFUL sentence to obtain the extra credit.
