• Spelling Homework
     
    On "Day 1" of every ELA weekly unit your child will take a Spelling Pre-test in class.  They will bring it home that night.  If your child receives 100% on the pre-test they do not need to take the Spelling test for that list.    

    There is no specific assigned Spelling homework that is to be completed and turned in to me daily.  Instead you received a "Spelling Smorgasboard" packet that gave you ideas on ways your child can learn the words. 

    Every child learns best in different ways.  Please help your child practice the words in whatever way works best for him/her.
