Thursday
These spelling activities are NOT
mandatory. You do not have to do all
of them—mix & match! I want you to
document what you do in your agenda
book so that we are in communication
about your hard work at home, but
that’s all. I’m not grading Spelling City
activities. They are fun and great ways
to learn and do match up with our
“eyes v/s ears” discussion. If you make
spelling grades of 75% or higher each
time we take a test, I will not make
activities such as these mandatory.
