I will be sending the new spelling list, pretest, and spelling test home on Thursday or Friday.  There will be ten words your child is expected to know by the following Thursday.  A pretest will determine which list of words your child will be studying.  To be on the challenge list, your child can only miss two words on the pretest.  Your child needs to be practicing his/her words each night.  Having different tools to practice their spelling words at home can be helpful.  For example:  letter magnets (frig), markers, crayons, sand, shaving cream are tools that might interest your child.
