1. Weekly Spelling - Learn your list and prepare for this week's spelling test. **You MUST complete activities 1,2,3 and 4 by Monday!** (In Spelling/Language books) Visit the following link and use it to help you learn your words. You need to test yourself on all your words and record the scores you get for each test. You can only do 10 at a time. I would like you then to try at least two of the spelling games and write in your homestudy books which games you tried and how you found them.
