Students will get a spelling packet every Monday. Each student will work on pages in class Monday through Thursday. We will check and go over completed work throughout the week. **Some packets may be taken for a grade.
A test will be given each Friday. It will consist of 10 called words to spell correctly, 4 questions about grammar and spelling usage, and 1 question on which they will have to write a sentence correctly, equaling 15 total possible answers for the test. All tests will need to be written in cursive legibly with the correct formation of letters. The alphabet is above my board and visible at all times. Point deductions or incorrect spelling completely will be counted off depending on the formation and handwriting of the word(s).
Once words have been taught, students will be responsible and accountable for the spelling of those words throughout the year or they will get point deductions on papers throughout this subject and all others for "non-negotiable" words.
