Spelling

This is the "Spelling" page. Students will be given a new spelling list to study each Monday morning. They will transfer the spelling words into their planner (for studying at home) and complete some worksheets that help them practice the spelling words & utilize them in sentences. Spelling tests will be given every Friday morning. Spelling words will also be entered into Spelling City (see link) where students can practice their spelling words by playing games! :) If students forget their words (planner) at school before the test... no fear! They can find the words on here or on Spelling City.
