Your child will receive their spelling list (20 words) tomorrow (spelling words are in BOLD and context below). Test will take place NEXT Thursday (September 26). Spelling tests will occur every other week. If your child doesn’t pass the test, they will have an opportunity to retake the test (with the highest grade being a 70).

Check out Spelling City on my blog for fun ways to practice. Also the Spelling Menu will be sent home tomorrow. Students have until the day of the test to complete 4 activities for 5 points extra credit.
