Spelling and Vocabulary Homework Menu
Directions: Choose a different activity each night, Monday through Thursday, for your spelling and vocabulary
homework. Make sure your words are spelled correctly and take the time to sound out each one. You will turn in
some kind of proof of homework each morning (practice sheets, parent signed notes, etc). Please date your
work. Your spelling and vocabulary tests will be on Friday.
