Spelling Homework
Each week you will be required to earn a
certain number of spelling points.
Example: Your teacher assigns 30
spelling points this week. You may
choose to earn these points doing any
combination of the following activities.
The number of points designated is
stated above each homework item (i.e.
alphabetize the words and earn 5
points). Each page must clearly identify
the number of the assignment you
completed and the point value (see
paper headline below). All spelling
assignments must be stapled together
and turned in with your envelope on
Friday morning. Late work will not be
accepted.
