Spelling Homework Ideas
Choose one (or more) ideas from the list to practice weekly spelling words. By
Friday, your child should turn in one thing that he/she has done to practice. If the
idea is not one that you can turn in on paper, just write me a note saying what your
child has done (ex. tracing words in flour). Thank you! 
