THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXPLANATION OF THE WEEKLY ASSIGNMENTS DUE AT THE END OF EACH WEEK.

Weekly Vocabulary & Spelling Homework

            Every week you will receive a list of the week’s words (10 words).  Monday through Thursday you will be responsible for completing three different activities from the following list.  You will have to complete this work at home.  Occasionally there will be time in class – but there is no guarantee!!  On Friday students will take a vocabulary spelling test.  On shorter weeks we may not have a spelling tests, or we may have a shorter list, or students will only have to complete two spelling activities.

2. Sentences need to convey the meaning of the word.
3. You may one – two vocabulary/spelling words per sentence.
