Spelling:

New word lists are handed out on Fridays. Students practice writing their spelling words for Mondays. The pretests are on Tuesdays and the final tests are on Wednesdays.
If students receive an A+ on the pretest, they do not take the final test. When they have earned 10 stars from either pretests or final tests, they receive a coupon for a free week without spelling, to be used whenever they wish!
*** A MOST VALUABLE PRIZE!
