This Week's ELA: Back to School


Back To School Spelling

Students can practice their spelling words online at http://www.spellingcity.com.  (Spellingcity.com should be ready on Wednesday of this week.)  Each week, students are expected to know what the words mean, be able to use them, and be able to spell them for their test on Friday.
Each day in class, we will check agendas following the assignment schedule below.

Monday: Which 5 words are the hardest for you to spell?  Write them correctly in your agenda in the box on the bottom right.  Practice and study these words. 
Tuesday: Write five more spelling words correctly in your agenda.  Study all 10 words.  (You can write the final 5 words in your agenda if you would like.)
Wednesday: Write the final five spelling words correctly in your agenda if you haven’t already.  Study all 15 words.
Thursday: Study all 15 words!  If possible, take a practice spelling test (either on paper or at www.spellingcity.com.)
