We are having a spelling test tomorrow.  Please remember that the words I gave you are not going to be your spelling words.  If I gave you the word mat, I will say, if you can spell the word mat, then you can spell the word that.  Please spell the word that.  The reason I do this is to check to see if the kids really know how to spell the words instead of just memorizing them.  This is difficult at first but they will catch on quickly.  After they get the hang of doing spelling this way, I think you will agree, it will make them a better speller!  Don’t forget to write each word 3 times and circle the vowels on the back of your math homework.  Study hard tonight and good luck tomorrow!
