Spelling
Each week, students are responsible for learning 10 spelling words. Spelling practice activities vary each day to help students learn these words. Spelling tests are given each Friday which test the current week spelling words. One or two bonus spelling words will be added to the list. A list of the spelling words will be sent home on Fridays and posted on this website.
