Spelling
Each Friday you will find the new list of words in your child’s folder. The students will have to spell ten words, and write a sentence using correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. The spelling tests will be given on Friday mornings.
Spelling City is a great website for students to use to practice spelling the words. There are a variety of games they can play and/or take a practice test. Students will be using this site to practice the words at school as well.
