Students will not be sent home spelling homework.  We talk about the patterns after our pretest on Monday, and do 2-3 activities in class during the week in Word Work.  However, if I notice that your child is not passing the weekly spelling tests, I will start sending homework for spelling for only those children that need the extra practice.

Our class will be completing our NWEA testing this week.  A progress report with your child’s scores from September will be sent home next week after all testing is completed.
