Individualized Spelling


Spelling tests this year are individualized.  Students create personal word lists from taking a pretest, words they misspell in their daily work, and a master list of confusing words.  Here are some of our students giving each other the test today.
 







How was school??

Often kids respond, "Fine," or "OK." How do you get your child talking?  Ask specific questions about our units of study:


RELIGION - God's Call to Abraham, The Offering of Issac, the Sacrifice of Jesus,  Issac and Rebekah

LITERATURE - Fiction and non-fiction, Part 2 - Fact/Opinion  Up next:  Mark Twain and a character study of The Prince and the Pauper
