Spot us being great spellers!
The first spelling test is Friday, September 8. Some of the words may be challenging, so studying the words at home each week will help your child be successful. The list should come home on the first day of the school week. Tests will be administered on Fridays or Thursdays of shortened weeks. Lists can be lost, therefore, it is our goal to post spelling lists on our website. On this list you will see weekly words including challenge words. The weekly tests will also include words from previous weeks. These words are not on the lists below. We are checking to see if the students are retaining the words from week to week. Ideas for studying spelling words are listed below. Spelling is “HUGE”! Thank you for helping!
