Spelling:
Spelling Unit 6 Week 5 (Last Week for Spelling)
Spelling list is given on Monday. Spelling test is given on Friday. Students must complete FOUR spelling practices by Friday. Students may complete their spelling practices, handwritten practices, Spelling City, or a combination to complete their 4 activities.
Spelling practice may be done on https://www.vocabularya-z.com --your students will have their own personal log-in that is glued into their planner. My teacher user name is dmarkert2. They need to do one activity every day before the test (usually 4 activities unless it is a short week) They may also choose to do handwritten assignments instead or in combination with the VocabularyAtoZ,com. If they choose to do these assignments, a list may be found below of possibilities for this. Handwritten assignments must be turned in on Friday. This is for a grade, so please make sure that your student completes four a week.
