Monday, September 10, Assignments

Math
  • worksheet 27 and 29; Fun Facts
English
  • Types of sentences
Spelling
  • Weekly spelling tests are associated with each story in the reading series.  There are 20 spelling words per list and one of the associated story's vocabulary words will be used as a bonus word.  Each word is worth 5 points.  The bonus word only adds 5 points rather than subtracts points.  A pretest is given on Wednesdays or during the middle of the week.  A posttest is given on Fridays or at the end of the week.  Students who score a 100 or 105 on the pretest do not need to take the posttest.  Students are responsible for correcting any words they missed on the pretest, including the bonus word, 5 times each.  Corrections need to be stapled to the pretest and turned in the next day.  The goal of the pretest/posttest format is to allow students to improve their scores.  However, we will always keep the highest score achieved.  Please feel free to use these spelling lists throughout the school year.
