Goodbye Spelling Tests - - Hello, Vocabulary Quizzes!
There are no spelling words this week in ELA, and beginning after Thanksgiving Break, students will focus on vocabulary - rather than spelling! More information will come home after break regarding homework. Vocabulary quizzes will take place every two weeks as opposed to weekly spelling tests as well.
