Spelling Menu
This is your spelling menu for the week. You will choose 2 different assignments from this list a week (one per night). For each missed assignment you will have points deducted (taken away) from your spelling homework grade.
Each activity should be completed in your spelling notebook. Make sure that you write the title of the activity above the assignment, so that I will know which one you chose. Use the front and back pages of your notebook paper if needed. Do your assignments in order, don’t skip pages!!
**REMEMBER: This homework is meant to help you prepare for your test on Fridays. Try not to do the same activities every week; change it up.**
