AGENDA
Parents: Spelling Update
We will continue to teach spelling in the same manner, but we are changing the way we assess their application of the words. We will continue to send home the spelling lists with the pattern/rule of the week for them to study. The tests wil now contain two sight words, and 3 dictation sentences applying the spelling strategies.
