Please keep this list in the yellow Language Arts folder at all times. Extra copies can be printed from
my website. We will not spend much time in class studying spelling words. This is primarily homework. 10-15
minutes a night will be a good system unless it is discovered that more time is needed. Daily repetition is the key!
Your child can look up the list and play games on www.spellingcity.com. Tests are generally on Friday. Thank you
very much for your support! It makes such a difference!!
