Spelling Words

*There are 20 words each week that the children practice both through HW assignments and in class*

*Monday - Pretest given - if a child gets 100% on Monday, they do not have to take the Spelling Test on Friday and they do not have to complete 3x's each.  I count the higher of the two scores.

*Tuesday - ABC order OR sentences (I will assign either one, NOT both) and weekly crossword

*Wednesday - Search - a - word and packet

*Thursday - study

*Friday - study for pretest
