Spelling Homework
Choose one (or more) ideas from the list to practice the weekly spelling
words. By Friday, your child should turn in one thing that he/she has done
to receive spelling homework credit. 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). Thanks!
