Please check the home page blog feed for the list of the words for each week. Each week's list of words will be managed under the following spelling contract.
This is your spelling contract for the week. It is your choice how many activities you complete. Make sure to spell ALL words correctly on each activity. All contract work will be due on Friday morning. Late spelling homework will not be accepted. This homework is meant to help you study for your test on Fridays. Do not wait until Thursday night to do all of your activities. Waiting will not benefit you in any way. You may only do each choice one time per week.
A grade will be given that corresponds to the amount of activities you complete.
Here is how your spelling contract will be graded:
20 points = 100%
15 points = 75%
10 points = 50%
5 points = 25%
No contract = 0%
