Spelling List for next week - Week #12
*Something new - your child will need to know the definition of each prefix or suffix for the Friday test!
If your child makes the AMAZING list, they will be required to do different spelling work with the new list. This may appear differently in the gradebook, so if you see a blank for a spelling activity, that would be why.
