Mr. Perrine’s Weekly Spelling Contract
Use your spelling words to complete your weekly spelling assignments. Complete any
combination of activities with your spelling words to equal 100 points. Write the value and
number of each activity at the top of your paper. All work must be handwritten (unless stated
in the activity). Assignments must be correct and complete to receive the points for that
activity. SPELLING WORDS WILL BE GIVEN OUT ON MONDAYS AND TESTS ARE ON
FRIDAYS. ALL SPELLING ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE ON FRIDAYS. You may not use the
same activity more than once in a week (ex: 2 notes for studying or 2 tests). You must have a
cover sheet on the front of your spelling contract that lists the activity and points. This will be
worth 10 points per week and students may do up to 20 points extra for 2 extra-credit points.
