Just a reminder about spelling and vocabulary. We will take a pre-test on Mondays (or the first day of the week) and students will have a spelling test on Fridays (or the last day of the week). Spelling lists have 30 words, but the last 5 are bonus words, making it possible to get extra credit in spelling with a maximum score of 30/25. Students are responsible for bringing home their spelling pre-test marked with the vocabulary words from that particular list. Every 6 weeks, instead of doing a spelling test, we will be doing a vocabulary test. Students will be responsible for knowing the definitions of all the words. In addition, sometimes during the week, students will have vocabulary quizzes. The students make vocabulary flashcards at school each week. They need to continually study all the words in order to be prepared for the vocabulary test. In addition, I'll be posting the spelling words and vocabulary words on the blog each week, just in case a list gets lost. Students can also ask for extra paper copies, if necessary.
